This is not unrelated to last week's discussion "Why Green Architecture Hardy Ever Deserves the Name"[1]. The urban form that allows and requires the car is an obsolete artifact of the "oil interval" which is passing into history. In the future you will neither need nor want a car, driverless or otherwise.
Until everything or everyone I interact with is within walking or public transit distance of me, I'll still require a car. Not everyone I know wants to live in the city with me. Not all of my service providers will be in the city with me.
