I'm not entirely convinced this will happen. Certainly owning a car will be a luxury, but it will be an affordable one (since we can clearly already afford it). I think there are enough advantages to car ownership, like instant availability, and personalised space, that mean many people will still choose to own a car instead of taking taxis.

Uber is great and all, but if you have to wait 15 minutes for an Uber ride to arrive, that's not very appealing compared to just hopping in your car and going. But if you live in a much more dense area and an Uber ride will arrive within a couple of minutes, that's a lot more doable, and saves you from the trouble and expense of maintenance, parking, etc.
