Sample size N = 1 Conclusion: all poor people use cigarettes, lotto and alcohol and I dont like them in my neighbourhood.

Who ever gets self driving down first can get as many cars are they want. Two scenarios:

"Let Uber drive you to work for free then pay you to use your car for the day. We'll cover the gas!"
