Self-driving cars: Lyft and GM will develop on-demand network of autonomous vehicles

The video discusses the potential impact of self-driving cars on vehicle usage in the US. With 258 million vehicles, many remain idle for most of the day. Lyft and General Motors aim to reduce this through a network of self-driving cars, allowing multiple users per vehicle. This could significantly decrease the number of cars needed, especially with carpooling, potentially reducing vehicles on the road to 43 million.
