Yup. I have a friend who trains horses for a living and another that really wants to get into that business. But her customers aren't average workaday people: they're people who are willing and capable of and interested in investing time and effort and money and space into cultivating their relationships with horses, who want to learn more about them and use them for very specific ends.
Already today a lot of people have no idea how the internals of cars really work, do not properly care for their vehicles, and ultimately couldn't care less if someone set up a teleporter instead. The vehicle isn't the point for most people. For the people for which it is the point, they're the ones who obsessively follow Top Gear, wish they could buy Ferraris even if they have to rebuild the engine constantly, happily tinker away under the hood on the weekend: they already do that to the extent that their finances allow.
Driverless cars take nothing away from them except traffic jams during commute.
