5) Uber-style transport, without drivers, will be ridiculously cheap meaning most people will not have to own cars.
Whilst as a driving enthusiast this sounds awful I think a future that resembles this is very likely

You could accomplish all this with ICE vehicles. None of what was mentioned is exclusive to EVs. Also, we were supposed to have flying cars by now.
