Can you actually rent a horse?

I'm not sure you can reasonably "rent a horse" in the same way that you rent a car, but you can go horseback riding tours on a horse you don't own, which is effectively renting a horse.

Yes, and for some, that will remain the case.  A lot of urban dwellers today have no car now, and others like us have one.  I think the younger folks are a lot less emotional about having a car, or a cool car, it's a tool for them.  Housewives, same thing.  I like to drive, I like to have a clutch, but I admit driving in the city is not much fun, and it's expensive.

So, my scenario in 15 years is that most cars will be autonomous, >50%, and those that are not may be driven "on weekends".

Joe Smith wakes up and makes  coffee and reads the paper quickly and goes outside just as his ordered car arrives, hops in, reads the paper, and exist at his office (presuming he goes to the office).  After work, he reverses the process, perhaps stopping off for milk on the way home.  A chain of autonomous cars flies by on the left 2 lanes of the freeway, or left four lanes, designated for such, bumper to bumper literally, at 80 mph (if we need capacity now).

His wife gets up and gets the kids ready for school.  An autobus arrives and they pile on.  She needs groceries and orders up a car to do that and stops to get her hair and nails done on the way.  On the way home, she visits her 19 year old paramour who is from Italy.  They go at it in the back seat while the autocar drives aimlessly.
