I hope this is the case....(that it won't happen)....

Because so-called millennials aren't currently car-crazy, doesn't mean we need to re-invent the wheel to cater to their current perceived dis-interest or laziness in automobiles as they are now....There has always been an answer to their life-style: buses and taxi-cabs....

Uber drives for them, but is not autonomous and still requires a driver and a vehicle on the same roads as everyone else...If that's how they want to roll, more power to them. It does not require a new type of transportation...
