\nProbably the most well-known option, leasing essentially takes the burden of repairs off the driver\u2019s shoulders. Unlike owned cars, leased vehicles are typically new, and the individual can switch cars with greater ease. Subscription-based models enable renting without a long-term contract.<\/p>\n
\nIf you live in an urban area, you\u2019ve likely grabbed an Uber or Lyft. No need to worry about parking! The convenience and efficiency of ride-sharing\/ride-hailing offers a viable solution for getting around without the hassle of taxis.<\/p>\n
\nDriverless cars may be in limited supply now but will become mainstream before 2050. Unlike cars of the past, the driverless car of the future will be shared and requested using your smartphone. Vehicles will be owned by both OEMs and giant technology companies.<\/p>\n
