I can't help but think this is just a crazily, overly-complicated solution for a 'prb' that no one is really asking to solve: ppl who don't like driving should just get chauffeurs or take the bus.
The people who asked to solve the problem are Google so they can have more people spend more time Googling, which is simply for generation of more revenue. That's why Waymo is a separated company from Google so the deep-pockets don't reach to Google or Alphabet.

A manual transmission can be set to "comfort", "sport", and "track" modes simply by the technique and speed at which you shift it; it doesn't need "modes", modes are for manumatics that try to behave like a real 3-pedal manual transmission. If you can money-shift it, it's a manual transmission. "Yeah, but NO ONE puts an automatic trans shift knob on a manual transmission."
