I can see both, but... The self driving taxi will kill automotive market as it is now. If you could use an auto-taxi for $.20 a mile and get it in 20 seconds..

I can see both, but... The self driving taxi will kill automotive market as it is now. If you could use an auto-taxi for $.20 a mile and get it in 20 seconds... why would you need to own a car? And for longer trips? Most people would need something with more range / performance probably for 3-5% of the time, so instead of buying a Ford Mondeo etc. they could take a car from a motorpool, paying for usage, and they could take a Porshe or a Jag... still paying less.
