I think we will skip past that to Robotaxi.
Robotaxis like Waymo got way mo traction than Volvo/Sixt/Porsche subscription services.
Volvo and Open Road subscription service cancelled.

The low end market who have unpredictable needs for a car dont' have the credit/capital to pay for new stuff.
They do dumb things like long term Turo rentals instead.
or they blow a ton of money on uber/lyft

The high end market with unpredictable needs and money just swap in and out of cars like they're nothing.
See George Saliba/Steve Jobs trading for new SL every month, etc.
