Arthur D. Little's global study on the future of automotive mobility found that the desire to own vehicles has not changed, and the vehicle market is expected to continue to grow. However, despite the popularity of car sharing, consumers still consider it an additional mobility option with strong regional differences. Support for P2P car sharing has declined, and customers have become more critical of autonomous driving due to recent events. Securing private data from customers is also becoming a major concern for connected-car services and new mobility business models. People are becoming more environmentally conscious, with support for electric vehicles increasing. The study found that the drivetrain selection is expected to change dramatically, with a shift from gasoline and diesel towards hybrid and battery electric drivetrains, which will affect OEMs' volume planning. The study was conducted among 8,000 drivers in 13 countries, including 10 countries where the study was originally conducted in 2015, and three new mobility markets added in 2018.
