Who's to say cities won't regulate how many of these cars can be on the road at any time? They already do this for taxis... And I believe some of them put limits on Uber and Lyft, too. Right?

This is done in Singapore. You can buy a car no problem but you need a certificate of entitlement to register and drive it. COE price fluctuates based on demand but has been over $50k USD (no mistake).

A small island nation. Traffic still gets pretty bad but it would probably be a lot worse without this policy.

London has congestion pricing for certain zones as well.
