Ride sharing when you need it is a lot cheaper than car ownership, particularly when you don't have a job to commute to or are teleworking. Were there people that treasured their horse-drawn Phaetons after the Model T proliferated? We car buffs could be an endangered species in 20 years.
I hope that we will survive.
What baffles me is that people have no idea that the new EV is not the evolution they are fooled to believe. Control and lack of freedom are knocking on the door and people follow without question. The mass media is the shepherd...
The new clean diesel is the most efficient vehicle in terms of everything including the manufacturing process.
Any ICE vehicle GIVES YOU FREEDOM to move anywhere even where there is no grid, road or a plug!
