The idea that maybe you don't have to own a car if you only need one occasionally may catch on, just like time-sharing caught on in real estate.

It's a cultural question. Will people want to share cars?

There's a massive opportunity as more and more millennials and others in cities switch over from car ownership to transportation as a service. They are picking Lyft, and we want to stay focused on that big opportunity.

Millennials aren't buying cars anymore. They don't want to drive. They don't want to own these cars. They don't want that inconvenience.

I think that's where the world is going. People will not own cars; they'll have a service that takes them where they want to go, when they want to go there. And that's what Uber is.

If you can make it economical for people to get out of their cars or sell their cars, and turn transportation into a service, it's a pretty big deal.

We are building towards the future where people need not own their own cars.

The market will evolve into two segments: cars that provide ease of access to transport and are shared by many people, and cars that are exclusive, high-end symbols of the owner's status and aspirations.

Self-driving cars will enable car-sharing even in spread-out suburbs. A car will come to you just when you need it. And when you are done with it, the car will just drive away, so you won't even have to look for parking.

The autonomous car is definitely coming, and when that stage comes, this ride-share business becomes even more important.

There is nothing that would prevent Fiat Chrysler from providing ride-sharing service to a wider community and using our dealer network for this.

Think of a world where there is no ride-sharing; people are driving themselves to work. You now have 30 people being served by 30 cars.
