Agreed that majority transport should be shared&public but smaller personalized transport will still be needed (eg a doctor being called to an emergency)
I could also see a system of self driving cars (not trucks but very small city cars) as a kind of public uber. Kind of like how gondolas work in some mountain cities. And of course just one per let's say 10 or more people as opposed to 1 or more cars per family like we have now.
That's the real danger. Shared ownership is great but not if you privatise the whole thing.
