But you can do car sharing with any kind of car. In Germany there are cities that run a rent service for their citizens who only need a car occasionally.
Obviously this only works in the context of a robust public transport infrastructure and in cities built for humans rather than cars, so that the need for a car becomes a rare occurrence.
American cities don’t generally fit that description and until they do the type of car they use won’t change a thing, because it’s not addressing the core problem.

That’s Car Sharing, not autonomous vehicles, no? Car Sharing is a good thing, definitely, but we really need to get rid of cars. Not completely, but to a point where it’s not the default.

With autonomous cars, you don’t need a driver to bring it to the next person who needs it. That’s a big limitation of current car sharing. Indeed, we need less and smaller cars, and I think autonomous car would help with that by increasing sharing and usage time.
