> when the economic output they would produce in that time pays for the driver, the car, the fuel, and still leaves profit

Is that really true? From a certain point the economic output is produced regardless of what that guy is doing, he is just setting future directions. Does Tim Cook generate $2.9 million every time he takes a dump? I don't think so.

I have a better explanation: convenience and satisfaction.



There's still productive things you can do while being driven somewhere - phone calls, reading documents, etc.
