You don't have an abnormal take here at all. Most people are incredibly resistant to this idea. My prediction is that it won't be a choice for the majority of people. Cars are inherently too expensive for each of us to own one, and the experiment of cars will not last as it currently does. If you can continue to afford it then you'll likely be able to, but that isn't going to be the case for th3 vast majority of people.

One use-based charge so you're not having to individually deal with a license, registration, insurance, maintenance and fuel - that will gradually prove more and more attractive. Where I live, just the base cost to have a car before it is even driven is ~$2,000/year. It might be that families phase out their second car or students forgo a car at all, older people give up their car sooner, etc.
