Your reasoned reply to my slightly-unhinged rant all makes sense. I will push back though on "attachment" to cars. (Clears throat, begins lecture along lines of "I had to walk to school every day in the snow when I was young, you kids have no idea.....") I am 70. In 1986 in one of my first McKinsey assignments we produced research showing Young People Are No Longer Attached To Cars As They Once Were. And I have seen reports repeating this every few years since. It's a little bit like classical orchestras bemoaning how elderly their audience is, such that in X years they'll have to fold up shop.... and every X years that elderly audience renews itself. Driver's license data shows young people DEFERRING getting their licenses more than they used to... but then again more are going to college or grad school than before, deferring getting married, deferring getting full-time work, etc.... but they eventually DO GET THEM. Thus the total count of driver's licenses in the USA continues to increase. Nothing like having a baby to get you out of the Uber and into your own car. But I digress (my middle name....). I don't think the "attachment" matters much. I agree the emotional connection is weaker - heck in 1970 if you wanted to have illicit High School sex the only safe haven was the back seat! This Has Changed. But I don't know many people who are "attached" to their dishwashing machines either, and they still keep buying them. My points are: adoption will be slower than we generally think, and a new equilibrium will be found. See my Car Charts post showing cars/household GROWING in San Francisco SINCE the launch of ridehail. Hmmm. Okay, time for me to go yell at the kids in the front yard and then take a nap.
