“If you live in a city, you don’t need to own a car.”

“If you live in a city, you don’t need to own a car.” William Clay Ford Jr., CEO, Ford Motor Company Ltd. October 2000

The following excerpt from the UK Observer provides the context for Bill Ford’s statement that puts a so-called auto-dependent nation in perspective:

[The company is also repositioning itself as a purveyor of mobility. "The day will come when the notion of car ownership becomes antiquated. If you live in a city, you don't need to own a car." He sees a future where Ford owns vehicles and makes them available to motorists as and when they need access to transport.]

    My business partner and I used Flexcar for the first time last Friday to head out of DC to a meeting. Once you’ve signed up and have approval the process couldn’t be easier. We were amazed at how simple it was to walk out of our office, walk up the street to a parking lot and just get in the car and go. The locking and tracking technology has made it easier than trying to drive to our busy office neighborhood and find a place to park on the street.

    Now we just need more people to recognize the ease of this process and use these services.
