Nobody actually likes commuting in cars. If there was convenient public transport, most people would use it.
I'm not sure that's correct. A friend of mine's assistant at work said her favorite part of the day was the commute. She had kids, a demanding boss, etc. Her only alone time was the 35 minutes each way. Now, I assume she'd prefer to not have the expense of driving.
But being on a bus or form of public transportation isn't quite as private, but it does allow you to read your phone/book/newspaper.
I think if money wasn't a factor, most poeple would prefer to commute privately in an autonomous mode of transportation.
