In a recently published article on their website, the World Economic Forum advocated that people share vehicles instead of owning them. One of the arguments that they use to support this proposal is that more critical materials are needed for green energy technology. Materials going to an “overabundance of vehicles” leaves less critical material for green energy purposes.<\/p>\n

From the World Economic Forum:<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Be honest, you likely have at least one old mobile phone tucked in the bottom of a drawer. Possibly an unused hard drive taking up space too. You aren’t alone. The average car or van in England is driven just 4% of the time. While most already have a personal phone, 39% of workers globally have employer-provided laptops and mobile phones.<\/p>\n

This is not at all resource efficient. More sharing can reduce ownership of idle equipment and thus material usage. Car sharing platforms such as Getaround and BlueSG have already seized that opportunity to offer vehicles where you pay per hour used.<\/p>\n

To enable a broader transition from ownership to usership, the way we design things and systems need to change too. For example, car sharing is made possible by new keyless unlocking features. Similarly, user profiles that create a distinction for work and personal use on the same device is needed to reduce the number of devices per person. A design process that focuses on fulfilling the underlying need instead of designing for product purchasing is fundamental to this transition. This is the mindset needed to redesign cities to reduce private vehicles and other usages.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
