There are already lots of stories online about homeless people sleeping in their cars being moved on by the police, so I think there will. It['s sick how humanity spends all of it’s creative power making life worse for others instead of coming up with ways to make things better for everyone.

Public housing still existed when cyberpunk stories were written

I’m pretty certain you can’t technically hold a license without an address cos the license needs a valid address on it so they’d probably start taking peoples cars away if they aren’t doing so already.

I wonder if car companies will come up with anti homeless features.

I could see the current tattletale cellular modem arrangement extended to serve the fascist Western governments, the cars already feed heaps of driving data to insurance companies. Not a big leap for the manufacturers to be coerced (if not already wholly cooperative) into having literally all car data sent to a police datacenter network with some AI overlord looking for patterns of homeless behaviors, sending (initially) unarmed drones to harass the ‘offenders’ and maybe call armed thugs to the scene.

It’s easily possible to turn most cars against their owners these days. There are microphones inside for the Bluetooth phone stuff, temperature sensors inside and out, seat weight sensors for the airbag and seatbelt warning subsystems; many can already be remotely manipulated in various ways through the cellular network, including being shut down, doors locked and wireless keys invalidated, etc. in addition to being trackable 24/7 by GPS and that fucking Flock camera network.

I want to live again in the world where Enemy of the State was merely a dark thriller movie and not literally real life.
