I suspect this will bring out the doubters of the opinion piece.

I'm always amused by the opinion people who base everything on the way things are where they live.
I just got back from Washington, D.C.. Could I live up there without a car? Sure I could.
Out here, where my farm is 10 miles out in the country?
Not so much.
But then, in my part of the world, people own horses because they are still the best method to get certain jobs done. Nothing quaint about it. If you need to gather up a few hundred head from the canyons and pastures and get them to a pen, ain't no Uber driver in the world can help you with that.

Owning a Car Will Soon Be as Quaint as Owning a Horse
The shift away from private vehicles will happen faster than we think.
I will die before I buy another car.
I don't say that because I am particularly old or sick, but because I am at the front end of one of the next major secular trends in tech. Owning a car will soon be like owning a horse a quaint hobby, an interesting rarity and a cool thing to take out for a spin on the weekend.
Before you object, let me be clear: I will drive in cars until I die. But the concept of actually purchasing, maintaining, insuring and garaging an automobile in the next few decades?
Finished.
