You seem to have some amazing insider knowledge of the future. When is this happening it sounds great. I hate the hassle of running a car.
I may be wrong, but I think it's just the way the wind is blowing. They've already said about smart motorways having wireless charging functionality.
Also, people's concerns about range only really matter if you only have access to one vehicle. If you have a 600-mile journey to make and, halfway through, a replacement fully-charged car is already waiting for you (or robots!) to transfer your luggage and continue on your way, is it a problem?
It's nice to have the exclusivity, convenience and privacy/personalisation, but I suppose most vehicles spend virtually all their time parked up somewhere and not moving, so we have far, far more than we actually need.
I read a book about a decade ago, about how much better, cheaper and more environmentally-friendly it could be if we rented/shared far more things in life. Take something like an electric drill: most households have one, as they're not too expensive to buy; but on average, how much of the time are they used?
Practically speaking, the amount of time combined that the people in ten streets (excluding carpenters/tradespeople etc.) use an electric drill could probably be accommodated with just one single appliance, if it could be organised properly. Instead, maybe 300 or more have had to be made and now stored, so that everybody can have their own.
I'm not saying that this brings me happiness personally: I like owning most things that I need and have a lot of reservations with how I think the future is looking, but a lot of people will probably see this as unsustainable.
I also wonder if Uber drivers realise that the Uber business model just has one small remaining niggle that they need to resolve and get rid of, to make the service far cheaper and more streamlined to run: them.
I have no insider knowledge whatsoever, but I'm guessing that, by about 40 (if not before), the idea that actual people used to actually have to drive the cars they travelled in - and bought and owned them individually too - is going to seem as absurd as the idea of having to search for a payphone in the street if you want to make a call when out and about is to us now - even those of us over a certain age.
