Self-driving electric vehicles to make car ownership vanish

So if you’re skeptical or nervous about the coming age of self-driving cars, consider this incentive: a $20 Uber or Lyft fare could be slashed to $2.

And this isn’t a vision of the future for today’s toddlers, but likely to happen within a decade.
