Regarding Toyota, how more sure do we need to be?
They are in the no. 1 sales position, traffic in Jakarta is particularly
anti-human, manufacturers and their lobby are pressuring for more
automobile-oriented infrastructure and rules... sounds like 100% or more.
Toyota's business - aside from commercial and PT vehicles - is probably
99.5% supporting Old Mobility (I know that some Priuses, etc. are used
for carshare).
If the automobile manufacturers present us with a 10- or even 20-year
plan to sustainably downsize to the point where they are only producing
new automobiles for carshare, taxis and rural use, plus parts for
long-term upkeep of existing vehicles... I will buy shares in Toyota and
its competitors.
