Hearing car companies talk about sharing and renting is always suspicious, because it means on the surface they sell far less. This is what ought to happen: cars loose glamor and become a cheaper low-maintaince rental appliance without such huge a industry behind it, but they companies will go do kicking and screaming before that happens. Let the batteries get cheaper, let there be more public transportation (classic variety and municipal bike sharing including cargo wagons, etc.), and hopefully the industry implodes on itself as described above. And screw all this wall-e-esque infotainment stuff.
