This was the point I was making. The first gen can just be rideshare (vs buy the car).

IMO self driving car ownership won't be cost competitive with ride-sharing/tncs.

Why would a car that can drive itself be idle 95% of the time?

Self driving cars would still suffer deprecation, wear and tear etc relative to miles driven. I don't see how self-driving will directly change any of those.
