RE: 95% people won't own cars in 15 years

in #cars8 years ago

Time and again people are being forced into renter status. I see this happening through a series of changes. Uber, is the first!. Now we have vehicles being tracked as taxi like services all over the United States. This will only serve to act as a fine tuning mechanism for driverless cars on the GPS network. Driverless cars will be the second tool used to transform the carscape! Once we have driverless cars swarming all over the roads we will see a huge drop in the desire for ownership. Cars will be tools for profit for big businesses. While cars are a huge expense for the individual they are also huge liabilities.

Most peoples cars sit in their garage, driveway or in some parking lot most of the day. Why would they want to incur the expenses of owning and upkeep on a vehicle.

Not everyone will move to renter status, but a huge majority of the population will. Kind of like people still wanting a land line and a cell phone. Many people in the younger generations will no longer want a land line because they will choose to bring their phone with them everywhere.
