the plan won't involve people owning or leasing cars, the model will be to ping an app and the self driving car will come and ferry you to where you want to go, or where the app will allow you to go!
why do you think we are seeing all the add-ons being fitted to cars, everything from lane change alerts, self braking cars to avoid accidents, self driving cars that have to be watched all the time, self parking cars. none of this is 'driver aids', it's all on road testing without the big OEMs having to pay (or be liable for the inevitable cockups) for all the millions of miles of testing to be carried out. the 'oh look at my new gadget' brigade are doing all the testing for them, and when it goes wrong, like self driving teslas crashing, it's the 'drivers' fault for not being poised all the times to jump in when something goes wrong... but you can be sure the car has logged all the parameters for the manufacturers investigation after.
as for fuel.... they won't stop it, it'll just get too expensive to buy.....
