Trains are complementary but there will always be need for personal transportation.

I never said there wasn't, however; What is obvious is that if taxis and trucks (privately owned or not) are now so cheap to run because there are no labor cost involved in having them on the road, then the next problems we will face are increased congestion, increased pollution (electric cars still consume a lot of power), increased road degradation. The only way to control this might be through increased taxes or car registration fees.

This still means the car problem needs solving.
