We will rent everything, and we will love it.

'we will love it' is the expectation that companies hope for, but I cannot imagine permanently renting such essential products (for a significant proportion of people) like cars.

Fingers crossed, but realistically one can only expect the worst.

I'm not so sure. People rent music now.

The only things I rent currently are Utilities, Internet Access, Standby servers for my business, Auto Insurance and Netflix. No SAAS / PAAS / MyAss etc.

So no I will not love any further encroachment and actively resist it.

How about a bank account and a credit or debit card tied to it?

I am not anal and would not put those into the same category as Car As A Service.
