The math in this article is awful. Constant cost despite varying the miles driven. Making money out of thin air. Yes you can talk about intangibles, such as the ability to do work while not driving. You can even give that a monetary value to do comparisons. But I'm not going to make more money by working while not driving, so don't add this opportunity cost to the cost of the car. Or maybe you should add up the opportunity cost of waiting for the uber car. You also can't just ignore surge pricing.
Not everyone needs to own a car. But there are a lot of advantages, some that are hard to put a dollar figure on.
