The cost of producing a car is only a few thousand dollars, and a robo-car is just a car with a few extra smartphones. San Francisco spends about $40,000 per street homeless person http://www.triplepundit.com/2013/05/hult-gov-policy-homeless...

Even in slums in India people are capable of affording low cost cars like tata nano's. And with the great efficiencies brought about by robo-cars, they would be even cheaper to manufacture and sell.

And the above doesn't factor in the value of land. Much of rent/mortgage goes into paying off the actual land-owner (usually a bank). Take away that exorbitant cost and robo-cars would actually be much cheaper than even a small apartment. At $700/month, $8,400 per year VS $10,000 one-time cost robo-car.
