Car ownership will be all done in the next 20 years. So will driving.
Once driverless cars hit the roads in large numbers and can communicate with each other you will see accident rates drop by 99% vs cars driven by humans. It will then cost thousands of dollars per month to buy car insurance for a manually driven vehicle.
Most cars currently sit parked 20+ hours per day. That's a huge waste of resources. The new paradigm will be uber inspired subscription services. You pay 29.99 per month, use a phone app to call a ride and get picked up within five minutes by a driverless car anywhere you go. Meanwhile all of the idle vehicles reposition themselves and park where they will be needed next based on traffic patterns, normal usage, inventory per area and so on.
It will be a much better system than owning a car, will save a fortune for people, will be infinitely better for the environment, will allow speed limits to go to 100+, and will put many millions of people out of work.
Upgrading your own gps will be pointless. Massive unemployment will be the actual problem and better gps won't fix that.
