Apple Car: For Real This Time?

Everyone on the supply side seems to want ownership disrupted. It reduces material waste, and permits for continuous monetization in a world where the environment's needs supercede the externalities of productive growth.

I'm not happy about it (in fact I'm quite terrified of it). But to quote the IMF in their predictions for 2030, "You'll own nothing, and you'll be happy".

I wouldn't worry about this too much. Psychology is in favor of ownership - people have hardwired hoarding behavior.

I don't. I find owning stuff a burden. The only reason I own my own house is because the rental sector is so dysfunctional in the UK.

So maybe there are more psychological factors. So hoarding, plus a part control, some signaling and a bit of tradition.
