PART 2: Many trend-watchers think younger generations will continue to lose interest in "owning" their own vehicles--in large part because they increasingly can't afford to "have it all" when burdened with increasing student loan debt and the increasingly out-of-reach cost of housing.

This increasing lack of interest in owning a personal vehicle also makes macro-economic sense because most vehicles sit idle about 95% of the time--a very inefficient use of an expensive resource.  So future generations may increasingly prefer to use not only on-demand ride-sharing services, but possibly even collectively-owned vehicles which drive themselves.
