The term the speaker used that stuck with me was "peak car". The idea that between ride-sharing (uber), self-driving, and the move back to the cities, we are already at a point where we are producing fewer vehicles per person than before, and that this trend is going to continue downward.
This is why they bought Cruise, why they're building Bolt EVs, why they're doing a lot of their biggest projects right now- to survive the transition from a creator of consumer goods.
