Aside for car fetishists, owning a car is an expensive and draining choice for most people. It stands to reason that, if the fantastic self driving promises materialize, people would chose not to own a personal car, just like they choose not to own a chicken coop or a cow - themselves prized possessions in times before refrigeration and supermarkets (and cars). The promises might fail but that's the plan anyway, to make ride hailing so ubiquitous and frictionless that it's more convenient than ownership.
