Cars used to be all about the driving experience. Speed, handling, comfort, and
luxury were the ultimate measurements of a car’s value -- along with that jaw-dropping price you paid after making that terrifying financial leap to own a brand-new one. But as self-driving technology becomes more and more ubiquitous and ride-sharing programs spread, the desire to drive, much less own a car, is shifting dramatically.
In the coming decade, cars won't be a product to shop for, stress over, love, and maintain. You'll treat your next car a lot like your iPhone or Android: a tool, linked to a car company's network, for which you pay a lot less money than you do now to access it on a pay-as-you-go basis. And even if you do buy your own car, you'll still witness the Apple-fication of the way you upgrade it, value it, and interact with it every day. https://www.thrillist.com/cars/nation/why-cars-are-becoming-more-like-smartphones/tech
