Only people who only ever lived in a city flat would think renting a car on

There is an implicit "most" between "where" and "people".
Obviously there will still be a small market for people with their own
cars, just like there is a small market today for people who use horses,
Cars were an enormous improvement on horses. Renting a car is zero improvement
upon owning one unless you have nowhere to park it or can't afford to buy one.
There are plenty of places to rent cars at the moment but do you see people
replacing their own cars with rentals or just using taxis? No. And just because
in the future a car might be able to drive itself will make zero difference to
that.
