By 2030, you probably won’t own a car, but you may get a free trip with your morning coffee. Transport-As-A-Service will use only electric vehicles and will upend two trillion-dollar industries. It’s the death spiral for cars.
A major new report predicts that by 2030, the overwhelming majority of consumers will no longer own a car – instead they will use on-demand electric autonomous vehicles.
By 2030, within 10 years of regulatory approval of autonomous electric vehicles (A-EVs), the report says, 95 per cent of all US passenger miles traveled will be served by on-demand, autonomous, electric vehicles that will be owned by fleets rather than individuals.

Articles like this tend to include a lot of naïveté and delusion about the capabilities of technology that doesn’t even exist yet.
You and me both!
socialist writer for a NYC state of delusion.
This is about pushing people into cities to make more government dependent.
Autodriving makes out of city swamp living more attractive. It is like having your own private train/driver/etc.
“THEY” know wot they’re doing!
If anything we have left symbolizes the freedom of Americans—even if now just another myth—it’s our now four-wheeled hoss (loaded up beyond recognition w/phony environmental limitations, lousy fuel, etc, etc.
The last American Cowboy to go down!

“Well, I’m just sayin’ that if you’ve got some 60’s muscle cars that you need to dispose of...”
“That won’t be necessary. Eventually the government will solve the problem by confiscating all those planet-killing vehicles.”
Hey, FDR confiscated gold in the 30’s.
By 2030 I won’t have a car or any thing else because I’ll be pushing up daisies.
I've read the end of The Book, it doesn't end well for the liberal idiots and God wins...
mass motoring is not free it’s controlled more than anything stalin could dream of.
The people will have to be turned into limpwristed wimpy wusses for that to happen. We’re well on the way to that, but this prediction will not come true.
Thought experiment: just what do you think will happen when you try to push motorcycle owners off their bikes? they will push back big time.
You don’t think the left wants to “allow” people the freedom of riding on an individual vehicle, do you? The goal is collectivity, everybody the same (except for the ruling elite, which gets to ride in luxury.)
Try the experiment out in DC starting next year, congresscritters and algore and his visiting environwhackos included.
We spend tens of thousands of dollars on new vehicles that spend perhaps 3-5% of the actual time that we own them on the road taking us somewhere.
That means 95-97% of the time those vehicles are doing what -- sitting around doing nothing.
Consider how much time there is in a day and how much time you actually spend behind the wheel. If you're like most people it's a small amount of time per day. Now multiply that out over days, weeks, months and years and that time gets smaller and smaller.
Logically it makes sense that some system of car sharing is going to come along and displace car ownership because it'll make financial sense for day to day transportation for most people.
Now muscle cars/classic cars are an entirely different matter! :-)
This is all going to happen in 13 years?
This goes into the category of the Popular Mechanics articles in the 1950’s that talked about flying cars. I’m still waiting.
Everyone pay attention, another Ecoweenie has a prediction...
In 2030 I will likely be either dead or drooling. But should I be alive, I’m certain I’l have no problem getting a drive if I need one.
Don’t forget the jackets!
They'll have to wait for me to wash it.
