India plans to leapfrog western car ownership and goes straight to car-sharing
Developing countries have the opportunity to bypass stages of development that don’t make sense anymore given the current status of technology.

India’s government sees the opportunity and is planning a major leapfrogging strategy: Instead of 170 million cars, the number expected with the current trajectory, there would be 77 million cars in 10 years.
