Quite a few people were I live own trucks or SUVs. Also, we have buses here, but the only people who ride them are ones without cars. People do take Uber of course, but that's generally when they're not in a state to drive, or they don't have their car in walking distance.

So what is it about being autonomous that will change the game? Because taxis haven't made owning cars obsolete. I know exactly zero people who prefer taking a taxis over owning a car, although a few would be in favor of public train transportation .
