This model is more for Uber, Lyft or the like businesses, but not for the average joe that still wants control of a car. And, a lot of regulations/laws will need to be drafted and implemented before it all takes shape. Next 15-20 years is my prediction if it happens. But, I prefer we have a public/private partnership in our own infrastructure (airports/rails/roads). I also like the hyperloop idea in California.
