Yeah, you're right, uncle. How about some kind of conveyance that just costs a lot less than a conventional US car? Rhetorical. Not expecting a reply to that.

I don't understand the hostility.

A bike already fits your requirements, self driving would just make it more expensive.

If you want something enclosed, NYC has self-driving (from your perspective) trains and busses.

If you want enclosed and not-shared, I guess you just want a smaller car? Losing wheels wouldn't make it cheaper, IMO, because that makes a bunch of stuff more complicated.
