One-third of car buyers view ride-sharing and ride-hailing services as an alternative to car ownership, according to a new survey by Paris-based consulting firm Capgemini SA of some 8,000 people across eight global markets.
More than half of respondents—led by 64% of people aged 18-34 and 77% of respondents in China—view such services as complementary to buying a new vehicle. Two-thirds of consumers indicate car brands are an important factor in their choice of car-sharing programs.
Other findings in the report include:
- 81% of respondents are willing to pay additional costs for autonomous-driving features
- 68% cite a vehicle’s "cyber resilience" as a buying influence, more than double the rate of a similar survey in 2015
- 57% of consumers are open to buying a vehicle from a technology company such as Apple or Google
- 51% would have more trust in car manufacturers producing a car with autonomous capabilities over a technology-firm produced car
- the majority of respondents say they would be willing to share their vehicle data (89%) and driver data (76%) with third-party groups
