How is a minivan not the optimized solution to this problem? One long sliding door, 3 rows, good fuel efficiency and safety and handling. And a plug in hybrid. It’s what waymo went with.
.I am not saying it’s the best possible but it’s an optimized design to solve this problem.

A minivan loses a 2nd-row seat for access to the second row.
So its 2 passengers first and second row, 3 the third? 7 total? Or parents and 4-5 children? That’s going to handle most use cases.
You know how they say in software and engineering in general to focus your resources on the 90 percent case.
