Death spiral for cars. By 2030, you probably won’t own one (reneweconomy.com.au)

It's an interesting prediction, but it's hard to see this becoming a universal situation. Most likely, the aging population will be able to get around more easily, probably a lot of young people will rely on "TaaS" vehicles to get around, and the majority in the middle will continue to own.

It's hard to imagine giving up my minivan which I use to haul stuff all the time -- gear for wedding gigs, furniture, etc. Not going to replace that any time soon.

But when visiting another city... TaaS would be sweet.
