Not if people need to go to every point on the map, throughout the whole road grid.

But I think we can consolidate vehicles a bit.

Something like electric bikes or segways or scooters for the last mile helps cover the entire grid.

And we could have double the number of buses, maybe with demand-based scaling of bus lines (no doubt they already do this but I bet it’s on the scale of months instead of hours).

But those other forms of transport don’t provide privacy, and we really like the privacy of a car.

The turbo lift from star trek is a cool idea. Just a room you stand in that takes you wherever. That provides some privacy.

I think more fundamental than the logistical aspects of it, the main hurdle is that sense of owning the space you’re traveling in. In my car I’ve got a thousand little tweaks I’ve made.

Maybe each person could have a vehicle configuration that gets loaded up into the generic shared vehicles, so when they get in it feels like theirs, has all the same things ready.
