Anyone worried about this news? Hanging on to that car in your garage so you can enjoy it when you retire? Maybe we won't be able to....
I'm interested to see what people think to this prediction- no need to own a car within 20 years? And maybe not even a choice to own a car within 30 years! Sounds scary!!
The low costs being quoted don't make any sense as the government will need to tax the service heavily to replace road fund licenses, fuel duty, VAT lost from new car sales etc but my main concern is not being able to drive a car!

I just hope that there's a half way house for long enough where enthusiasts can still own and drive ICE cars. I can't see the internal combustion engine surviving long once driverless cars become the norm though.
