I've been discussing solutions to the potential future of significant job loss to automation. While I think Basic Income should be considered and piloted, I am trying to keep an open mind for alternatives.

I keep reading about cars that would own themselves and communicate with each other to essentially compete for customers.

However, why not have a fleet of community crowd sourced autonomous vehicles that pay out dividends? I feel like, modeled properly, it might work well in conjunction with a basic income of some sort.

Why would this fail?

Bonus: couldn't it be applied to other services that would benefit the community?
