If the robot driver could operat
a vehicle from the 1970's then yes. Otherwise no. Self-driving car
seems a lot more efficient the fact
A. You could be a sleep in the car, while it is in motion.
B. You could have more passengers.
C. Now you have not one but two devices to deal with.

Upon C. The robot could win because you could buy a brand new car wit
no electronics and the
robot literally would be the only electronics to actually use.

Howeve

A battery operated car where electronics are presented. Might as wel
make it self-driving
Unless those electronics are more or less like a regular car, then w
could go robo

If we could make battery-cars that takes store brought batteries 
like take those Rechargable D
Batteries within an array ) . Then yes these could be easy to servic
rather then a big-chunky batter
