It that's you've been doing this whole time.

Can you please post in English? I get tired of trying to make sense of your gibberish.

And you said yourself said the whole full driverless thing wouldn't happen for decades, as well. And Uber themselves say it far off. They said by 2020, and it's already changed. And it's apparently getting further away...

Hey, speaking of deliberately twisting someone else's argument, you just completely misconstrued mine.

Uber wanted automated cars solely for their company by 2020. I am saying that universal self-driving cars, with no human-driven cars on the road won't happen for decades. In no universe are those two things even close to the same thing.

And switching to the Uber model has more cars on the road. There are already people who don't drive, so they use Uber. If you take away everybody else's ability to drive, you'll have tons of people on the road at once.

No, not "at once", because not all people travel at the same time. Anyone that was already in a car at peak hours will still be in the same number of cars now (minus drivers-for-hire, like cabbies or bus drivers, since they will have been replaced), but the difference is there will be fewer parked cars and those rush hour cars can go pick other people up and drive them around in off-hours.

Self-driving cars also handle traffic more efficiently (a fully self-driving car force would have no need for traffic lights or signals, since they would just communicate their intent to other cars and use a neural network to assign turn spots to each car), which reduces the amount of time spent on the road, which more quickly frees up cars for other passengers.

Not to mention you would need extras for people needing rides.

You already have that today - they're called "empty cabs/Ubers/bus seats".

And to be used when others are dirty.

Which could be stored at a depot, so no additional road load.

But one difference is payment. Most people don't worrying about paying on their own property.

You just spent several paragraphs earlier that things on the internet aren't free because you have to pay for the internet. That would mean that parking on your own property isn't free because you're paying for the property, meaning you're still paying for parking there as well.

Admit you were wrong then or admit you're wrong here, because both cannot be true.

There are many differences, which is why is doesn't work for the "scenario" I put forth.

What scenario?

Please provide context to your sentences or quote what you're responding to, because otherwise it's impossible to tell what you're talking about when you suddenly change subjects like this.
