Or people could still own self-driving cars and rent them out AirBnB-style when they aren't home.

In the suburban sprawl where the majority of the USA lives, we already have a nicely distributed network of storage (homes with attached garages). That would be far more efficient than having Uber and Lyft build their own duplicate storage for cars, which would almost certainly put them further away from the customers who need them and be far less efficient.
