autonomous driving will change car ownership, but it does nothing to reduce the amount of cars on the road. you still have 2 people driving to work or running errands and burning the same amount of fuel to do it, just in someone else's car (or your own while you jack off behind the wheel).

Autonomous cars will probably increase traffic, not reduce it. Got a quick meeting and don't want to find parking? Order your car to circle the block (while your meeting turns into an hours long session). Do you need to be at the office downtown at 8 and your spouse needs the car at 10? Have the car drive you to the office, back home to pick up your spouse, take her on her trip followed by another round trip downtown to pick you up.

If the real goal of the program is to foster school diversity, what's wrong with just grabbing the talented tenth out of underperforming schools and busing them to the suburbs?

Well for one thing, cherry-picking just the top performing students doesn't necessarily foster school diversity.
