What this entails is that all payments would be acquired via cryptocurrencies, of which these vehicles would then store and use for various different reasons. Because they're autonomous, if any one of them were to break down for some reason, they could easily contact a local repair shop to pick it up and pay them for the repairs using the crypto it gained for its daily services.

Better yet, this fleet of DAO vehicles could also acquire its own DAO repair shop, of which would then provide its own autonomous services to anyone who needs it - whether it be its own vehicles or in the rare occurrence for someone who still privately owns a vehicle themselves.

Which then brings us to micro-UBI. Given that they're a DAO, and thus doesn't actually have any humans working for them as employees, a number of profits they'd be accumulating over a relatively short period of time due to their services would be extremely large. This then would raise a momentous opportunity to introduce what I call micro-UBI payments.

I specifically call it UBI, as opposed to a Basic Income Guarantee, because it wouldn't be based on taxes or limited to those who absolutely needed income. Also, most importantly, it wouldn't be a monthly or annual guarantee; rather, it would serve as an opportunity for anyone to acquire a little bit of income on a monthly basis for being upstanding passengers over that period of time.

What does this mean? It means that, to ensure the vehicle isn't damaged or left dirty after each passenger uses it, they'll incentivize these basic tasks with a micro-UBI rewards program. If you (the passenger) were to maintain a spotless record of keeping the car clean, not damaging it, etc., each month you'd be rewarded with a small sum of income as a result (it could vary between $100-500 per month).

Obviously, this wouldn't be enough to make a living off of, but it would help in addressing certain expenses you might have and likely even make your subscription service to these fleets of app-based, solar-based, self-driving DAO vehicles to be virtually free.
