Who said people want such an disruption? They want electric cars. They want self-driving cars. They want to own OR lease OR rent cars. Have you missed the "own car" portion? I for one want to own my car, as I can do the math, it's cheaper and I can sleep in peace. This smearing campaigns to lobby for change society to take them away cars and promote "cars as a service" (aka rent) as only option is very disgusting. I know it's their wet dream - just go away.
- sumedh 9y ago> I know it's their wet dream - just go away Not sure who are "they" but in the end its all about cost, if renting cars is cheaper and its good enough for most of your work then people will go with the cheaper option. The reason you have such extreme position is because you grew up with having your own car, in the future there will be a generation who will grow up with the renting option and they will ask the question why do you need the hassles of owing your own car.
- infogulch 9y ago> I can do the math, it's cheaper You're basing your math on the state of cars today. This will change drastically. A self driving fleet will be very cheap to order compared to current taxis or ride sharing services.
