Well, you wouldn't have to sell the car. You could also setup a licensing / loan / dedicated car system.
It would work well for local municipalities that want to provide low-cost door-to-door service for the elderly.
We have a bus service here, The ART, and a dedicates "paratransit" bus service that provides door-to-door service to eligible riders.
And a couple private large-scale developed and managed neighborhoods that have driverless non-automated (remote controlled) transit systems.
If you know a large portion of your riders have disabilities, dedicated buses or vans make sense.
I'm sitting here advocating for this, and it's a great service that I'm glad they have it for those in need, and yet I need fucking plywood for hurricanes myself.
Yeah, it is Florida. But honestly, the transit system here and bike infrastructure development and traffic planning is good.

I think the word you were searching for is leasing the vehicle.

Car leasing tends to be time based. A self-driving car may depreciate more like an airplane, based on miles driven.
