You're still talking today. By the time electric takes over, there is a good chance self driving will be here also. That's when this becomes possible: Your car will drop you off, go get charged, and come back if you want it to, or just park off-site and pick you up in the morning. But now think about zip cars and Uber/Lyft. The price of point to point transit will fall from human wage level to robot wage level. Imagine those services at a fraction of the cost. And more rides would be available also without the need for paid drivers. They'd also deliver mail and food. Of course... all this was also omitted by the article. But this does appear to be the consensus regarding where this is all headed.
