It's called Zipcar or your local equivalent.

Zipcar isn't prevalent in the US outside of major cities. But I've used it and it is similar to what I'm talking about, just imagine that but fully automated and run by fewer hipsters.
The definition of hipster has inverted if grey haired guys with MBAs are now hipsters.

Neither will any robotaxi or robocar system initially. I suppose some will view being run by nerds as an improvement over being run by hipsters.
