Prediction text

Transportation will shift from ownership to subscription/access model | we won't be purchasing cars, we'll be accessing cars, right? So you flip from consumer ownership to subscription models... That transition that we've seen fully in music, we expect to see in transportation, healthcare, education, energy, anywhere, everywhere.
