Having a car is always more freedom than not having a car.

Where I live I sometimes walk, sometimes bike, sometimes take the subway, sometimes use my car, and sometimes use my truck.

I'm nowhere near rich enough, but having your own private jet would also give you a lot of extra freedom.

However I don't consider these self driving taxis to give you much freedom (because you don't own them).

In a dense city car ownership is a financial trap. It’s a depreciating liability whose use is extremely limited by available real estate (normal people use the terms traffic and parking). (Also the number one killer of kids.) Lack of ownership is the point.

I'm talking about freedom. Every person's financial situation is a separate thing.
