Self-driving cars may be too expensive for one person to own soon after they are available..
Self-driving cars may be too expensive for one person to own soon after they are available.. It will take a lot of time and resources to build these machines to be safe and reliable, and companies will need to recuperate the costs in some way. On the other hand, most families will not need as many cars as they do now, so the demand will be lower than most people expect, which will raise the price. We can also expect companies to be the first users of self driving cars, as it will make more financial sense for them, so many suppliers will move to service businesses like Uber. Companies like Uber and Lyft will lobby lawmakers to make it harder for people to own self-driving cars, and effectively make it unaffordable to most. In short time Car-As-A-Service will become reality. In the name of safety and cost reduction, many roads will be closed to regular cars, effectively making it pointless to own a car.
