The Demise of the Automobile?

The articles analyze the decline in automobile sales, focusing on the disinterest of younger generations. Various factors contribute to this phenomenon: the high cost of cars, the emergence of alternative transportation (public transport, sharing), a growing environmental awareness, and the negative image of cars as symbols of pollution and capitalism. Different viewpoints are presented, with some suggesting a future rebound in sales, while others foresee a historic change in the automotive sector, necessitating innovative business strategies. Stellantis's management is criticized for its lack of foresight and for its approach that is solely focused on numbers. Finally, the Italian situation is highlighted, where low wages further exacerbate the issue.
