Millennials drive for 8% fewer trips than older generations:

we surveyed 2,225 American adults of all ages. On average millennials drive for 8% fewer of their typical weekly trips than baby boomers or Gen Xers.

Moreover, this difference does not disappear when we control for demographic information, proving that millennial behavior is not just about being young, single and low-income. Instead, what distinguishes millennials are their attitudes.

Millennials are more pro-environment than previous generations and less likely to believe driving gives them independence. They also see driving as more dangerous and want a travel mode that offers side benefits such as exercise or the ability to read or use social media.

The generational difference has profound implications for auto manufacturers.

    Actually a lot of them ARE moving that way...

    Good for them. That's the only way what you call "SJW" and "deplorables" are going to reconcile their values.

      I don't find reasons (yet) to be totally unhappy, I'll settle with that if I can't get better.

      At least ScoMo is still better than Tony-ultra-deplorable-Abbot and, for "politics, the art of the possible" reasons, better even than Malcolm-almost-non-deplorable-Turnbull.
      At least ScoMo was lucky that the National-deplorable-Party got past its hysterical stage with Barnaby-hillbilly-Joyce losing voice (after playing with his dick [wikipedia.org])
