Uber and Lyft already have subscription plans. This is exactly the direction car transportation is already headed, at least for many drives.

This is just leasing with a different name, non-negotiable price, and insurance baked in. In many ways that's an improvement but it's disingenuous for Volvo to call it a subscription.
