Uber/Lyft/etc...This has been the end game since the ride sharing economy started. Hail an autonomous car to take you wherever you want to go for a very low price. It will make owning and driving your own car obsolete. In fact, with the insurance companies, very few people will be able to afford their own car/drive it in populated areas. I can see some parts of large cities banning all non-autonomous cars altogether for traffic and safety reasons.

Uber is very much planning for this, it's the end game. Travis has even verbally told Elon that'd he'd buy $500 million worth of Tesla's if they are fully autonomous by 2020.
