It's just a theory that a lot of articles are presenting. I can't recall if anyone here mentioned the ride sharing concept. I'm pretty sure that companies like Google are trying to set it up that way. They want no one to own a vehicle just call when you need one kind of thing.

That's kind of what I'm saying. Unless you make an automated car (again I'm mostly referring to the ridesharing/fleet idea) why would I not own my own. It's not yet dramatically better. I agree there will be pet options etc. Therein lies the problem of not owning your own. I get up and go there with my dogs when I want and find time. I'm not sitting around waiting for 25 minutes for a car. In this scenario I'm assuming wait times since a dog friendly car would likely be a niche market.
Sorry I typically think of the automated car as a ride sharing idea. Mostly because articles about them often go that way and it seems to me like an idea that doesn't work.
