The usual venture capitalist with a silly idea, which would only work in their idealised world of "everyone lives in a city, connected 24 hours a day, drinking coffee on the street because they have no time, with no brains required, other than to sign up to subscription services".
I.e. the typical American Office worker.
Let's get ready for stranded cars unable to connect to the servers, ddos attacks, police baffled by the missing driver when some accident happens, drivers sitting in India driving a car in Germany, network lag, etc. At least we will get to laugh and the failure videos which will start appearing soon, no doubt. Hopefully it won't take many victims before the whole thing collapses (though they will probably run out of funds pretty soon... Profitability never enters in these tech-bros minds).
If you want to reduce car ownership, improve public transportation, though I know it is a foreign concept in the US. Too socialist for the greatest country on earth, eh?
What will be next? Plug a chip in your brain so that you can work without going out of the house at all? Ideally, Drip-feeding the living corpse at home? And a subscription for the privilege, of course.
Call me old-fashioned, but I'd rather drive myself.
