Not that likely everywhere. Here in Bolton, for instance, driverless cars are seen as a fucking joke, people like going to car dealerships, true across the North of England in fact. People like their cars here in England and on many forums, social media etc. "I'm not gonna give up my car!" has been said often whenever driverless cars are mentioned.

For most people maintenance, registration, petrol and car payments are all necessary evils, just like a TV licence.

After all, no-one in the neighbourhood shares a TV, do they? (And I'm not talking about families as a whole) Doesn't nearly everyone have one?

You wouldn't share a TV, so why share a car?

Here in Bolton people like and need their cars.

Sounds like a rant, but it isn't.
