Now one set of speculation is that uber will take over the world. People won't own cars anymore, now you'll just call for a ride to xyz place. the car shows up, you get it, it takes you to where you want to go, and drops you off and leaves.
Frankly that situation is unacceptable to me. I don't want to decide that I want to run out for icecream and have to wait 20 mins for a car to arrive. I want to decide on a whim and get in and go.
So I see a blending of these two things. Those who don't feel the need to have instant access to decide to go the as needed bases. Even better, then could set a schedule for things like going to work, going home, lunch, etc. You go to work every day at 7:15, the car is outside waiting for you, etc.

I'm never going to own an autonomous car, I think where it is headed will remove the need of ownership of a car, you pay a ride share company that has a fleet of them to pick you up and drop you off.

This I could see occurring for public transit, or large business complexes.
But as a general concept I want my own space, and having to share a ride with 3 or more other people who I work with (or only know from the car share) would drive me insane.
I'd probably end up stabbing someone.

This idea works great when you're in a huge city, and more in the center of that city than when in a smaller one or an outlier where those "cabs" won't be as available, that time delay might be completely undesirable to many, I know it would be to me.

How could Uber or any ride share company take over if car ownership goes away? you are contradicting yourself.

He's saying personal car ownership, not a business ownership of cars.

I was using uber as an example, but if you prefer uncle sam, of the state, that's fine, please substitute whichever entity into that sentence you like and then re read it.

Wouldn't losing the ability to travel around as you please be similar to enslavement? If you wanted to up and drive to <insert location> this instant, but couldn't because the Government run transportation system didn't make that route.
Isn't that essentially slavery to your location / job?

This is slavery:

Enslavement is the act of making someone a slave. A slave is a person who is the legal property of another and is forced to obey them. Being tied to a specific location is not enslavement or even similar to it. It's having less options.

A slave has 2 choices, do as you're told, or be beaten / killed. I don't really see the difference (sorry)

Being stuck in one location to me is comparable to false imprisonment. Which is equatable to slavery in that you aren't free to do what you want.
So to say "if you can't travel, that's just less options" is equatable to slavery in that you aren't able to do what you want.

It just sounds to be like you think the government is encroaching on our liberty (assuming you are American). There is an argument for that for sure.

The american government is assuredly trying to take more and more from me. (I am american) but the topic is government / company owned mass automated transportation.
If personal ownership isn't an option the only result is less choice. Which would lead to less freedom to do what you want, when you want.

I really mean no offence but you're way way... way off the mark.
Being unable to travel is in no way, shape or form similar to being owned.
