Imagine a world where every car company would get money every time someone uses their car.
Instead of monthly subscription for self driving or heated seat, it would just cost a few cents a minute.
This would be a strong push to try to destroy public transportation everywhere
- gruez 3mo ago>Imagine a world where every car company would get money every time someone uses their car. So oil companies? Moreover car companies do get more money with more car use. More driving means more parts required, more servicing needed (from their dealership network), and cars that need to be replaced sooner. It's not as instantaneous as uber charging your card every time you do a ride, but I don't see how that makes a material difference.
- whynotmaybe 3mo agoThey don't get everything, spare parts are made by other companies, same with tires, servicing can be done outside their network... Microsoft handles more verticality.
