I’m excited about what the future brings. Cheap, safe, and clean transport is a win for us all and self-driving electric cars seem the closest we will get to that. This will be the biggest change in transport since trains (1810), safety bikes (1885), and manual cars (1910).
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.

If the model you've put forward depends on public funding, that should depend on whether maintaining a public road network for the use of a few corporations is the most efficient use of public resources...

I'm really not following your arguments here. How is this for a few corporations if lots of people use it? And in the current model road taxes are already part of car usage, so why would that not work in the new model?

If the cost of maintaining such a network is to be incorporated into your pricing, that depends on whether you would then be competitive with other forms of transportation.
