- randyrand 8y agoBy and large almost everyone already goes by car everywhere. "According to Census survey estimates, there were about 1.8 vehicles available per U.S. household in 2016." If America was a public transport country, I would agree with you. But it's not. The only exception is NYC - but even then car ownership is not exactly low. "within the five boroughs, ownership is lowest in Manhattan, with only 23% of households owning a car, followed by Brooklyn and the Bronx, with 44% and 46% respectively."
- dmortin 8y agoIf (and that's a big IF) you can get a self driving car to your house within, say, 5 minutes anytime then there won't be much reason to own a car. Only we don't know if everyone wants to go by self driving cars everywhere, even those who can't drive (kids, old people, etc.) then will the future car and road infrastructure be able to handle this?
