I don’t think many people will own cars when this is fully implemented.

I don't share your vision this will be popular on a grand scale simply because most people have to drive to work and run errands. It might work for big city millennial types that work near where they live and can't afford to maintain AND park their cars.

“most people have to drive to work and run errands”

The ride sharing services are booming. The biggest cost is not the vehicle but the driver. When that cost is gone, big companies will be able to reduce the cost per mile to be far less expensive than private ownership. Then owning a car will become a luxury rather than a necessity. Maybe it will be a status symbol to own a car. But you will be able to do pretty much everything you do now with a car but for far less. Or, at least that is what I expect to happen. Prognostications are educated guesses at best.
