[QUOTE="SecondhandSnake, post: 16606101, member: 116684"] ...for now. I think the subscription based service is going to be predicated on the success of autonomous driving. People are less apt to get a service so they can swap out the kind of vehicle they have versus being able to summon a purpose built ride vehicle whenever and wherever you go. No worries about even having a garage, driveway, or even charging station. Lots of people forgoing ownership when they can use rideshare services already. Imagine when it's got the might of an OEM behind it, and without any pesky need for subcontractors or drivers. Expect cash for clunkers 2: Electric vehicle boogaloo. We'll give you $5000 for every filthy ICE car you trade in for an EV. Look what cash for clunkers did to the used market before. Now imagine it with an even bigger motivation behind it (save the planet!), and the money printers going full steam. ...and now I'm on a watchlist for using the word "boogaloo" because it's an alt-right-anti-government-dogwhistle. /s Though I'm sure they watch everyone on this site closely anyway. The VW scandal played a huge role both in financing some initiatives (though when did the government care about finances?), but more importantly it catalyzed (no pun) the crackdown on aftermarket parts and OEM testing. I've had to take the training both for aftermarket software and we had to take a bunch of training and testing on the OEM side as well. [/QUOTE]
