I think the natural progression of driverless cars is away from individual ownership. Why own a car when you can have near instant availability of a much cheaper rental.
To many people, a car becomes part of their identity, or like you said
>expression/personal entertainment
I'm sure that there will still be people for whom this is true, but for most of us it won't matter b/c the efficient always there taxi will be so much cheaper.
For most middle to lower-middle class Americans I think current cars are really out of their comfortable price range, they own them b/c they view them as a requirement.
If you give them an alternative that is just as convient, but cheaper, and without the maintenance hassles, it's no contest.
