&gt;Self-driving cars drastically reduce the total number of cars necessary<p>The fact that the cars drive themselves really changes nothing. Car pooling reduces the total number of cars necessary. Public transportation reduces the total number of cars necessary. You might try to argue that car pooling will increase as a result of the change, but I don&#x27;t think that is a given. You&#x27;d need to explain away surge pricing to convince me otherwise.<p>But certainly, if you&#x27;d like to sell me your Tesla shares now at half price and get to safety, I&#x27;ll be a friend and take them off your hands for you :)
