    Self driving cars are not going to stop car ownership, that’s pure CEO fantasy. The logistics of it doesn’t make any sense. Gig economy it’s the opposite of even distribution, it’s companies owning everything and workers owning nothing. Stop drinking the neoliberal kool aid.

      Gig economy is better distribution of asset use, as I said. The problem to correct is distribution of ownership, again as I already said. Stop drinking the socialism kool aid. Nobody owning cars is more likely than community ownership.

      Car ownership may not go away but it’s likely to decrease. It’s rare in America to not own a car. It’s less rare in cities with good public transport, eg New York, Europe. Self driving, on demand taxis may mean the same effect is carried over to places that currently don’t have great public transport.
