Thanks for the comment. I was so intrigued with the elegant simplicity of what you propose—which at a certain level does seem glaringly obvious—that I wrote a follow-up piece that posits a simple model to try to work out the feasibility, pros & cons, etc. Further comment welcome!

Are you comfortable with the prospect of its demise, or perhaps even an advocate for the end of personal ownership? https://autonewsblaster.com/2019/05/just-make-sure-there-are-more-seats-in-the-cars-than-people-is-there-a-simple-solution-to-objections-to-the-end-of-personal-vehicle-ownership.html
