> If you do not control your means of transport, someone else does and they can take it away from you at any time.

The car does provide "freedom of movement" in a libertarian fantasy way, but in reality one gives up your privacy with a drivers license. Speed traps and cameras track license plates, police can stop you, and you need to be sober. You are paying rent in the form of license fees and parking tickets; and you are paying for fuel which relies upon a long and complicated supply chain.

In urban areas, one might imagine other types of freedom. Such as the choice of walking/biking/bus/taxi/tram/subway in addition to driving, or some combination of those.

> I fear peak hours will become something of a bidding war where nobody wins.

If only there was a public option that wasn't surge-priced.
