I'm 100% behind that autonomous is the future and autonomous cabs and car2go will exist. What I remain unconvinced by is that private ownership reduces total number of cars owned by any significant margin.

What is the difference between Cabs and Car2go and this revolutionary future? Car2go is more expensive than car ownership at the majority of people's kms/month driven. Autonomous fleets don't make Car2go cheaper. So unless there is a dramatic change in the commuting demands placed on us the autonomous cars in the passenger space is not revolutionary.
