No matter how good the internet becomes, people will always need a car or bicycle.
I agree some people will need a way to get around by car and bicycle. But, I know a few people who rarely use a car and bicycle and mostly walk, and use a taxi or internet taxi service like Uber and Lyft to get around when they need to go to a place which is farther away from their home. I think some people individual needs may owning a car or bike not always necessary. Some jobs like book writers and artist don't require a car to drive to work since they work from home, and they have enough time to buy most of their stuff online, and enough space to stock up on food and supplies, and using a taxi or bus service is good enough.
Internet shopping sites can make it less necessary for people to own large trucks and vans to buy big things like TVs, stoves, and fridges for their home since they can use sites like Amazon, eBay, and Bestbuy.com to order these large items directly to their home with delivery companies like the postal service. It is possible to use internet sites to sell your old stuff and homemade stuff and ask a delivery company to pick up and ship your stuff to internet shoppers who bought your stuff.
Even then you miss the point where there are jobs that require owning a car.
Even at the IT company I work at we need car drivers, because you never know when customers start to call for an emergency and we can't connect remotely as a result.
For people and
small companies who only occasionally need to use a car or for rare emergencies, it can be more affordable to rent a car for a few hours or longer rather than buying a car depending on how often they need to use the car, how expensive a cars is to buy including sales and environmental taxes, and the long term cost of maintenance, repairs, fuel, and insurance for the type of car they need like a truck, van, regular car, etc.
Some people rent more expensive work vehicles like moving trucks for a few hours or days because they are too expensive to own, and maintain for many years, and reselling them can be harder if there is not a high demand for the car.
Some poorer people, unemployed/retired people, and small companies occasionally rent cars at local or online car rental companies, so owning a car is not always necessary if you use a car a few times a month or year, and don't feel it is a good use of your money to continually pay for the long-term insurance, registration, maintenance, repair, and fuel costs which can cost many thousands of dollars over many years.
There are also short-term 1 year leases or weekly to monthly rentals for cars for people who want to rent a car, but do not want to buy a car to use for a few weeks to month, and resell their used car which they own if they bought a car they don't want anymore.
