The lion’s share goes to ride-sharing apps such as China’s Didi, India’s Ola & America’s Uber; yet hundreds of other business models are emerging that are related to other aspects of car ownership, car management etc… Here are Mr. Owyang’s 10 examples:

New cars come to you: Tesla, the premium electric car manufacturer, brought a test drive car to my front door with a friendly sales associate.
Auto repair comes to you: A local Silicon Valley auto repair company reminded me of my car maintenance schedule. When I agreed, an account associate came to my house in a loaner car and swapped it out for my vehicle. They later returned my car repaired and tuned up.
You rent out your idle car to generate money: I listed on RelayRide and a student borrowed it for the weekend. I generated a bit of cash from an idle, depreciating asset.
You don’t have to own a car to drive a car: There are many services in which you can borrow a peer’s car such as Getaround or RelayRides from other owners. Or there are a variety of short-term car rental companies such as Zipcar, BMWDriveNow and Car2Go.
You don’t need long-term car insurance: If only going to borrow a vehicle for a day, you can be covered with fractional insurance from MetroMile.
Borrowing cars is a breeze, so you can rideshare: Lyft & Uber drivers generating revenue— but what if you don’t have a car? Breeze enables fractional ownership so anyone can use one of their vehicles & start generating revenue as a driver.
You don’t have to park your own car: Luxe, Carbon or Zirx will park my car for me, all done via their apps, for $15.
Car washes come to you: I used Luxe’s $40 car wash service (local prices are about $30).
Gas stations come to you: Purple (LA) and Filld (SF) offer a service. Gas is brought to your car for less than a $5 fee.
You don’t need to own a car: Lyft or Uber fetches me while I work on my laptop.

In 3 years, my lifestyle around transportation changed to become faster, more efficient & productive. This comes at a cost; hard-earned money is traded for convenience.
