Why own anything?

The WEF thinks you shouldn't anyway.

And then they could optimize the model for efficiency by picking up multiple people that share similar routes. It could even become a public service!

this sounds like a snarky remark, but a hybrid public transportation mode where an autonomous van can pick up people at their convenience is exactly desirable, more than the public bus or train today. Less walking, less waiting, on demand connection.

It’s unlikely autonomous cars will be privately owned.

Looking forward to the future of having to leave 40 mins earlier so I can mark multiple vehicles as "need cleaning" before having one arrive that won't give me hepatitis.

I absolutely understand the distaste, but you'll have to compare that against your current "subscription" of insurance fees. Hopefully they either go down or go away.
