in 2022 start of fleet cars don't mean fleets should replace 30% of today's car ownership.
If you live in any city or suburb in USA today, electric bikes from Bird, Lime, Skip companies are left on the rode side waiting to be activated by mobile phone from anybody.
Same thing start with self-driving electric cars starting 2022 . It starts with 5% (in number) of today's cars in a given neighborhood. You just activate with mobile phone as we all do TODAY with these electric bikes/scooters in our neighborhood.
As you know google's Waymo just started these on-demand cars in Phoneix Arizona few weeks ago, any pre-registered users can hail this self-driving car from phone. There are keeping a safe driver just sitting idle as of today.
I am confident on January 1, 2020 ( in select USA cities) Google will have No safety human driver and cars will be parked in neighborhood just like these Bird, Lime scooters.

- sdinsn 8y agoThe difference is that scooters cost a few hundred to buy, so they get paid off easily. A self-driving car is not cheap, usage costs would be far too expensive. I'm confident that your estimates will be far off.
