No, that has not been taken into account in RFM’s forecasts. The reason for this is that there are many variables which can change the numbers materially. To make it as easy aspossible to understand we keep the variables as constant as possible. This has been addressed in the comment where we estimate how many miles need to be driven to keep demand for vehicles flat. This number is 8.8tn miles, 2.8x more than are driven today

For old-fashioned cars, miles travelled by car equals miles travelled by driver(s). For autonomous cars, could miles travelled by car be twice the miles travelled with passenger(s)?
