You will also be able to add your car to the Tesla shared fleet just by tapping a button on the Tesla phone app and have it generate income for you while you're at work or on vacation, significantly offsetting and at times potentially exceeding the monthly loan or lease cost. This dramatically lowers the true cost of ownership to the point where almost anyone could own a Tesla. Since most cars are only in use by their owner for 5% to 10% of the day, the fundamental economic utility of a true self-driving car is likely to be several times that of a car which is not.
I'mma have to pass on all that shite. I don't want anyone sitting in my car without my explicit knowledge and approval. Too much risk.
Musk is dreaming, designing, and building for a perfect world with good people. We live in a flawed world with a society that is morally questionable at best almost.

The end goal is that a lot fewer people own cars. And those that do, probably don't see them as "their" cars, but rather their contribution to the fleet. They make a little money on the side, and perhaps they get some other incentives for "buying into" the fleet.
I'm just speculating, but I think the end goal is kind of like an global autonomous uber set up. When you want a car, you just summon it and it comes and picks you up. Think of it as you're paying for access to transportation, rather than buying a piece of machinery that is yours and yours alone. Of course, this kind of set up in decades away, but I think that's the end goal. Lower costs of "ownership" and a LOT less cars out there because cars will be MUCH more efficiently utilized, thus no need for the volume of cars we have today.
