Automakers
are developing anxiety in the face of the growing competition that
carpooling presents to the industry. According to Mary Meeker's latest
Internet Trends report which came out this morning, UberPOOL now
accounts for 20 percent of all Uber rides worldwide. Automakers today
feel that people don't want to own cars but are more interested in
simply getting rides. General Motors recently invested in Lyft. This is
just one example of how traditional carmakers are experiencing tech
envy.
