I think the concept is cool, and it would probably make a good replacement for buses. In my area, we have on-demand vans run by the org that runs the buses, and they basically take people to/from any transit stop in the area. A robovan would replace those, and potentially replace buses as well, and they could run more frequently because you don't need to have drivers.

So I absolutely like the idea, but I still think it looks dumb. Why screens instead of windows? Why does it look like it's from a video game?
