Sure, but it removes that reason for having a car too. In my life, cars are usually used for:
a) Commuting
b) Transportation of goods
c) Travelling (i.e. entertainment)
Generally, that order reflects what I use a car most for (i.e. Most of the time, my car is for commuting.)
Instacart helps remove the need for transporting goods. Amazon helps remove the rest. And I work at a location that makes commuting via bicycle + public transportation extremely easy.
So I don't need a car to commute or to transport goods. So for the few times that I need a car for entertainment, it doesn't make sense to own one. It makes more sense to rent a car from a local Hertz, or to use ZipCar for those one-off situations.
So Instacart is part of the solution, it isn't the entire solution.
