      Good topic. My opinion: individuals won’t own cars, car sharing services or software companies will. Also fixes our parking and traffic jam issues.https://twitter.com/thijsniks/status/947107828317159424 …

      What will road transport look like in the future? A speculative thread of personal thoughts. Hint: The opposite of this picture. pic.twitter.com/PggWKDrF8m

      You don’t think leasing companies will be the car owners?

      Maybe, capital-wise. But to whom will leasing companies rent their cars? The individual? Not efficient enough — that’s similar to our current system. We're probably buying "transit", instead of "car time" in the future (Uber vs traditional car ownership).

      Did you read the whole thread though? :)https://twitter.com/thijsniks/status/947109744082391040 …

      Leasing companies are specialized in raising capital and using that to generate a steady revenue stream. There is little difference for them between consumers or sharing platforms paying for a car.

      Of course, but don’t you think leading companies will be vulnerable once car sharing companies raise their own capital?

      They might be, but managing assets and managing a marketplace are two very different skill sets.
