Once we have automated cars why would anyone own one? Cars are the biggest waste of money we have right now. On a house you spend more but you have the potential to get it back or even make a profit. Not so with a car, it's just loss and a lot of that.
The sensible thing to do would be to have cars as a service. Why tie yourself to one type of car when you can just order what ever you need for that specific trip? Why does every family need 2 cars when nearly all our time is spent in one place (e.g. home, the office, the golf course).
Cars as a service can enjoy the same kinds of economies you have with e.g. the phone network. You don't have to have enough for everyone because everyone won't be using them at the same time. You need only worry about peak time, which you even have some control over since you're making the driving schedules.
