    Autonomous vehicles, like trains or subways are indeed very useful for people with disabilities.

      Luckily the train pulls up right next to my disabled grandpa’s house. And it drops him off right at the doctor’s office. No walking required!

      Oh wait.

        You’re getting downvoted but it’s a completely valid point.

        Many people’s disabilities make public transport unusable.

        Most proper public transit rollouts also include point-to-point vans specifically made to haul disabled people around. Even the USA has these in some places!

    We’re still not in a position for vehicles to be entrusted to someone who couldn’t physically intercede to take over control of the car in an emergency.
