Business models

Car companies are planning for different possible business models or a combination thereof: Ride sharing/hailing versus private ownership (a/k/a a car or two or three in every driveway). This is explored in a report from the Center for Automotive Research, which mostly explains how shared-use modes work and their value for the customer, particularly where and at what levels of miles traveled.
