This is probably anecdotal evidence at best, but: As a current college student who was just beginning highschool in Dallas when Uber first starting becoming a real thing rather than a curiosity, I used Uber all the time to get around even before I had a license (sometimes even taking it to school in the morning), and continued to use the service once I did. Almost all of my peers did, too. I go to college in Los Angeles now and haven't had my car for a few years, so I mostly rely on a mix of the Metro in addition to Uber for the last mile problem. I figured if I can make LA work without a car, I can make it work anywhere. I have no plans to buy a car after college, instead choosing to rely on public transit + Uber. Discussions with my friends from home and college reveal this is not an uncommon plan upon graduation. Perhaps these studies are looking at the "long-term" effects of Uber too early? Could it be plausible that there's an "uber-generation" which will contribute to a sharp decline in car sales?
