> coordinating with other people is hard.

Only when you're driving around humans. When you're using automated cars to replace errands, it becomes a lot easier to coordinate a set of grocery pickups, laundry dropoffs, and so on.

With concepts like Amazon Lockers in apartment complexes, you can pick up their laundry from one locker, deliver cleaned goods to another, all while they're at work.

that may work with services that manage this, but not if i use the car to manage my own. those are two entirely different kind of uses of self driving cars.
