Agreed. The way I understand it, a self-driving car will offer you the same freedom - you'll just tell it where to take you instead of driving it yourself.

It will if you own it, but a lot of people here seems to assume that most cars will be short-term rentals.

Just because most cars would be rentals doesn't mean owning a car wouldn't still be possible. And if you want to own a car, you could just own a car.

My city has short-term bike rentals to get around, but plenty of people still own their own bikes.
