We are far in enough to do another recap: (1) 50% of the road will be digital. (2) Each car will make decisions on its own, as an integrated system will be too slow (to build). (3) Regulation will be slow and then rapid, as countries compete. […]
There seems to be a disconnect between ownership and usage in your argument. Apart from that, it really isn’t a very interesting aspect of this all. We will figure it out as long as a large enough part of society benefits from it.

Of course there's a disconnect. Car owners pay taxes to fund a road network that allows them to use their own cars. Users of transportation services, expect transportation service providers to compete to provide the best service at the best price.

Wouldn't car owners just still pay the taxes under the new system? We could just increase the tax rate. Or we switch to a per kilometer model. Or we add a usage tax on sharing platforms. Or we do a gazillion of the other options we have available.
