I might end up being related to where you live:
Private car ownership could fade away of its own accord in cities and major towns, where there will always be a big enough demand for transport that businesses would be able to make a profit running fleets of ‘Taxies’ – If there’s enough demand to support a bus/tram service, there’s enough demand for hire cars. Probably still self-driving/autonomous driving, though – hiring a driver as well would be pretty pricey.
Out in the sticks we’ll be more dependent on our own transport, as we are now.
Would we all be expected to travel by train for long journeys, instead of driving?
Would we Hire by the day? Or per journey?
