There are a ton of factors that make your DSLR to Autonomous Car comparison flawed.
The utilization rate of the camera is going to be far lower than the rate of the car. The camera may sit on a shelf for weeks before being rented for a single day, so the per-rental price must be relatively high. The market is small. Also, cameras are comparatively easy to break, and the technology goes out of date extremely quickly as compared to a car.
I think the greatest fiscal advantage to autonomous car fleets is the likely high utilization rate.

Are they sustainable at scale? Is it just to avoid having the price floor drop out from them if they're viewed as purely a discount option? Is it to dissuade having too many users on the system all at once?
