It's fundamentally a form of rental but there are a bunch of features that things much easier.
One is that you can unlock the car with your phone, another is that there are lots more pickup and drop-off locations. You normally do not interact with a human during the use of these services.
If Halifax were to get Uber-like service it would make a big difference too. Does Halifax have Uber Eats? Vancouver had Uber deliveries but not car rides.
I own a car but I have a feeling this will be my last one unless it dies prematurely.
There will still be a range of car ownership levels in the future and there will be people who need to drive all the time for work, but the average number of spots needed (or demanded by the market) will go down.
