That means there will be less cars being made, sold, and parked. Huge disruption. Just around the corner. Get ready or get left behind. The ride sharing will be much more efficient than a bus since it more or less goes directly to your destination in a six passenger electric vehicle. Like a custom route which is constantly evolving. With a couple stops to let a person off or another person on. All coordinated from everyone's smart phone.
