The coronavirus has revealed how bad that idea was. Everyone who has a privately owned car is glad they have it, and they won't forget that once this is all over.
Ultimately it will come down to price, convenience and personal budget. My opinion anyway.
People won't forget about a global pandemic that locked down everyone in their homes for months. Are you joking?
The 1918 flu had a big impact, but a lot of other things happened in the 20th century!
People are terrible at adjusting, we keep asking for (our definition of) "normal"
And car sharing like that isn't a bad idea. All this talk of slack in the supply chain--personally owned cars are a huge amount of slack. Sure, they're an insurance policy, but a very expensive one.
Where does this sentiment come from? I don't own a car because I don't want one, and the pandemic hasn't changed this situation at all.
Renting a shared car from a phone still sound appealing to me.
"Owning a car is a lot of hassle. It's super expensive, it takes time to maintain it, you have to park it, you may have issues with it. Renting a shared car from a phone still sound appealing to me."
I found it very telling that these two comments were literally one after the other on my screen...
