I love it when futurists confuse what “can” happen with what “will” happen. They are seldom correct, very, very seldom.

Good luck with that. By the time the world gets around to this type of scenario, most people aren’t going to have any interest in traveling anywhere on a regular basis.

While self driving cars will be here, the modules thing probably will not. Largely because it adds complexity to no gain. There’s lots ways popping modules in and out of a “train” can be difficult and no real reason for it, it adds no safety, very little fuel economy, and no efficiency.

It's called a bus for one. I think we have to look at the entire transportation system. We need more park and ride, more buses....for 10 people....not 100....subways...
The car problem is growing and the highways are overcrowded.
And we need to be design smart...with malls etc.

Nah, someone will invent Teleportation, eliminating the need for highways, cars, trains, boats and airplanes completely.
Oh, did I confuse "will" and "may" also?

I can’t begin to fathom the amount of capital that will have to be expended on the infrastructure to support the vision Mr. Lutz describes.

Lutz also said that there wouldn't be another Big three released car that can perform as the Dodge Viper. He was also really on board with Perot's 50 cent gasoline tax.
I could see cars being banned in SF, and NYC. Pods are not going to take the place of pick up trucks, SUVs or box trucks in 15 years. The po' folks will not be satisfied with giving up their car for scrap value within five years.
Sabotage and terrorism that WILL happen to so of the self-driving cars will spook plenty in staying away from them, even if overall safety is better (think planes vs. cars). But most Americans just don't want to give up the ability to give up as something as personal as a car for a public utility. Mr. Lutz admits he dreads the inevitable outcome. So do the rest of us, except some city dwelling tree-huggers who have no skin in the game. If we all dread the inevitable outcome, it need not be inevitable.

People like the author, and some in this discussion, seem to think that the environment in their immediate vicinity is indicative of the country/world at large.
There are places in this country where having few cars on the road would be a good thing.
There are places in this country where having a car can mean the difference between life and death.
You will never legislate individual transportation out of existence. There may be areas where use will be limited (probably by making it cost prohibitive with tolls and taxes) and few individuals in that area will own cars, but to suggest that the days of car ownership are numbered is ludicrous.

Lutz is wrong.
A reaction to technology managing every move of our day is going to be the next revolution, and a necessary one in order to put technology into service we need and seek instead of us being managed into adopting what serves the arrogant technologists more than anyone else.
