I'm pretty young (22) and the overwhelming majority of my peers are licensed and usually have cars (disclosure: I don't have one myself). Although I do believe youth car ownership rates are much lower than in the past, there are a lot of places where it is near impossible to live without a car. The cars young people drive are usually cheap and old (potentially hand-me-downs from their parents or older siblings) and they only have liability insurance, but it is possible for a lot of people.

I'm old too. (45) and I have 2 cars in $30K-$40K range.

I would buy the self-driving car (2 of them) because I could read in traffic, or relax while listening to music, or watching a movie.

And if tired, on the way to Vegas from LA, push "autopilot button".

It's safer to let autopilot drive than to try to drive sleepy, trust me.

You can buy a solid car for less than 5k.

You don't need to spend 40k to get a vehicle that works.
