>> Worth mentioning, 30 seconds would feel like an eternity inside a car.

Would it, when the car is driving for you and you're free to putter about with a phone or laptop or book?

I always figured that this would be one of the greatest benefits of autonomous vehicles - perhaps the car isn't as aggressive as the human it's driving it would be, or as quick to get "unstuck", but the human won't care too much because they're too busy on their phone. In most cases, what's a few extra minutes when you're no longer actually driving the car?

I think you're completely right from a rational perspective, but I've definitely sat in the back of an Uber wishing the guy would drive more aggressively since I was running late.

The solution is simple. Screen a drag race across the interior windows of a self-driving car.
