Just because driverless EV's are around the corner doesn't mean people can't satisfy their car tastes. Hell, you already see it the concept in action with Uber and their various offerings for the type of car you want a ride in.

You can rent any sports car or exotic car now. That doesn't change the demand.
The entire
idea of status is desiring that which is not readily available to everyone.
ALL of the projected attractions of auto sharing that have been discussed in this thread already exist. But demand remains relatively modest. The massive, immediate, society-wide adoption that is being suggested here, simply because EV, is a pipe dream (at least within a generation or two).
Will demand for EVs continue to grow? Of course. Are the entire structure of society, the infrastructure of cities, and the primary modes of transportation turning upside down in a matter of a few years? We shall see.
