Using a 2 seater with limited storage space to taxi people around is pretty original. Not good, but original.

Even BMW has come out with a more original car design for an automated vehicle that has the seats facing each other and a table in the middle for a more communal experience. It also had a screen instead of a front window, because obviously if the car's driving itself you don't need to be able to see outside.
