    I know which I would prefer to spend 30 mins with.
    Yep... I imagine any driverless ride will be one long session of video adverts that you can't switch off.

    These will be targeted ads.

    They will know who you are and get adverts that match what they think you want.

    Yes, but even more insulting because you'll be paying a higher price to be a captive audience.

    I hope they do not program them to have an OCD addiction to car cleanliness, thereby leaving room in the boot for more than hand luggage!
