What will “Noah’s first car” be? Where will he park it?
Noah will almost certainly live in a city. People who live in a citydon’t need to own a car. ~ Bill Ford, chair, Ford Motor Co. November 2000
The car of the future… … will be shared.
To put “Noah’s first car” in perspective: • 16 years ago • Almost none of us had email • Most had never “surfed the web” • Few owned a ‘portable phone’
16 years ago: There were only 210 people sharing 24 cars In all of North America All in French, in Montreal & Quebec.
Today: • More than 850,000 people share 15,000+ cars in N. America • (producing 150,000 fewer cars on the road....)
P2P carsharing (rent YOUR car) getting $$$ from Google, GM, etc...
Or, turn your own car into a taxi Even parking gets easier

Noah might get his license in 16 years, but he almost certainly will never “own” a car.
