Will the UK ever increase the amount of lanes our roads have?

Car sharing might be more common with self driving cars. I wouldn't lend my car to a stranger as I wouldn't want any damage they may carelessly cause, kerbed wheels, tracking knocked out, thrashing it for fun, general incompetence or indifference, but if the car is self driving these shouldn't happen.

What about mud, vomit, scratches to the dash, tears to the upholstery, chocolate stains, rubbish, people's belongings?

This idea that people won't own cars and will just summon an autonomous car is nonsense.  People love to own a car, for the freedom, to have their own space etc.

If a car is owned by a small group they can agree on in car behaviour and what’s done about it. I like to own a car but it spends a lot of time idle. I gave up owning a car for a while because the costs couldn't justify its limited use. You might want to own a car but for others car sharing could work well.

No offence, but London has  the best Public transport system in the UK. Why the need for a Taxi?

Because I don't live in London.

Fair enough.

You could do that now.  You don't need automated cars to be able to buy a car with others.

Its not possible for me. Others would get annoyed by the mud, vomit, scratches to the dash, tears to the upholstery, chocolate stains, rubbish and abandoned belongings.

Just don't buy a car with a group of people who would treat it with such contempt.  You want to make sure you know them well enough that they'll look after it.
