The author has a very bizarre pessimistic view of humanity. I imagine the overwhelming majority of people would utilize a service just to get from point A to point B. I would also note that given the technology, self-driving vehicles will be a very controlled environment where users will be fined or banned for foul play. Also, the greater utilization of the car will have them depreciate much more quickly, which would mean that the cars would tend to be newer and designed for heavy use, much like bikes on cities bike share programs.
