    Considering how much time any one given car is parked, It would be much more efficient if cars could be pooled. I imagine that cars that drive themselves will eventually look quite different.

I actually think that one of the unintended consequences of driverless vehicles will be a far greater reliance on public transport systems. I think it could make personal car ownership unnecessary.

And I think you're right in your analysis about the emergence of solar and hybrids. We are starting to see real progress in the replacement of gas-only vehicles. Hopefully in the 2020s gas vehicles are completely replaced.
