Gen Z are turning away from getting their driver’s licenses because they can just grab rideshares instead, according to Uber CEO Dara Khosrowshahi—and his own son is no exception.
“This drives me crazy,” Khosrowshahi said. “My son is over 18… I’m still trying to get my son to get his driver’s license, but Uber’s freed him up.”
According to Khosrowshahi, the convenience of rideshare for the younger generation is “absolutely having an effect on car ownership.”
Uber did not respond to Fortune’s request for comment.
The rideshare company remains focused on eliminating the need for new cars on the road, Khosrowshahi insisted.
“It’s going to take a lot of work to get there,” he said. “We’re less than 3% of miles traveled on the road even though we’re a very big company.”
