We Share: Reinventing the automobile

Cars were an amazing invention in terms of getting folks where they wanted to go.

However, they seem to be spinning their wheels while stuck in a rut.  Automobiles have remained essentially the same since the assembly line first came into being. Technology has zipped right along, so it’s well past time for cars to catch up.

Volkswagon (VLKAY) is now jumping on this redesigned bandwagon.  Taking cues from Daimler AG’s DriveNow and BMW AG’s Car2Go, VLKAY is “unveiling a car sharing service” and putting “2,000 all-electric vehicles on the road by the second quarter of 2019.”

With this new initiative, VLKAY hopes to sell more and more battery-powered vehicles.  Head of Sales Juergen Stackmann explains:  Our mission is to become zero-emission, as much as we can, and this service will help us to get there.
