If we are talking about the end of private cars because of AI driving the car, is no way this will ever work in a rural or even suburban area. Are say two million people who work in a megacity but live in the suburbs all going to hail an automous car in the morning and be picked up and delivered by it on time, regardless of rain, snow or whatever? And get home the same way, on time? Just think about the logistics involed, this doesn't make any sense at all. Only if you live in a central urban area and then how is it any better than hailing a cab? The most this will do is put cab drivers out of business because even if the car is self-driving, most people will at least need to lease if not own their own vehicle just as they do now. It doesn't fundamentally change the economics of the automobile industry.
