Once the legal framework is in place and the technology finally sorts itself out, I can see a situation where the idea of private car ownership becomes a strange concept in cities. You just have a fleet of "chauffeur" driven cars available that you can call on as you need them.

Of course the fleet can be 'sent out to work' during periods of low demand.

Funnily enough, the Google self-driving car system is called Google Chauffeur.
