You're thinking about it wrong. No consumer is going to buy a driverless car. Instead you'll call an Uber or GoogleTaxi and there won't be a human behind the wheel. Just like Musk said, owning s car is going to become like owning a horse. People do it as a hobby but not as a necessity.
I agree. We'll buy into car share networks. There will be super primo services where you can ride in a limo, business class networks that allow you to ride in privacy and maybe even economy class networks where busses and vans carpool like uber's new hop feature. Crucially, this allows the number of overall cars to slashed. 1 auto-auto can do the work of 10 non-auto-autos, and the cost will be spread out among subscribers and expensive electric cars will finally be cheap enough for everyone.
