I was thinking more of how car-sharing/driverless cars would help with the "last-mile" transit problem. A transit rider getting off at a GO station or an LRT stop may still not find a convenient connection to reach their final destination. For all the intensification that the Region is hoping for, we're not going to see a bulldozing of the suburbs quite yet. A reasonably-priced car share (eg $transit+$carshare < $transit+$parking) might save the Region the challenge of figuring out how to connect each GO transit user with their destination without the need to provide a huge parking structure. This assumes, of course, the ability for one-way trips with either self-driving abilities or an army of drivers... oh wait, I guess those are called taxi drivers.
