You're right. To speed up the conversion, we could revoke the licenses of the myriad of old people that should NOT be driving. We should do that anyways... they're dangerous.
Combine that with the *vast* majority of Millenials who really don't want to drive, the Gen-Z'ers who REALLY are completely uninterested, and you're getting close to critical mass.
Throw in the cost savings of not owning cars, and you're there.

Cost of ownership for a vehicle, on average, is currently almost 60 cents/mile. Estimates for single-rider autonomous are around 25 cents per mile, and around 15 cents per mile for shared autonomous. Owning a car is probably not going to make economic sense for a LOT of people.

How many people owned smartphones in January 2009? How many people use Uber and Lyft today for trips they never would have considered calling a cab for ten years ago? These kinds of technologies tend to be adopted at exponential rates.
True. But, "What car should I buy?" is a very different question than "Should I buy a car?"
Sure, some people will buy their own as a status symbol. Others will find new status symbols, and the other >95% of the population will be happy to save money and not go crazy driving in traffic.

I think it inevitable... Just a loooong way off.

The majority of Americans see cars as a status symbol. You might not like it..... But thats the way it is.
Go look on Instagram and see how many douchebags have 100s of thousands of followers (kids) that idolize them because they own a Pagani. I just sold a car to one of them.
