Cars may become fewer in number, but not highways. Michigan's economy is still so dependent on the automobile industry that we spend a lot of time thinking about it.
I think out 25 years or so there will be a two thirds reduction in the need for cars. The rich will still be driving if they still choose to do so. But everyone else will primarily renting by the ride, aka Uber style transportation.
But Uber may not be in the picture by then because we will be talking driverless cars. We will order our transportation from Google. Do not be surprised if Google even buys one of the Big 3 to cut out the middleman. The only thing the average person will care about cars is how comfortable is the back seat.
