I believe he has a better track record at predicting how things will work out than certain curmudgeons who post hereabouts.
Sure he is free to "think about it" all he wants, as are you and I. Thinking about it is hardly what I would call a prediction of the future. Especially when the "thinking about it" includes an insight like, "could free many people from the need to tie up all those resources in a consumer durable that they only use now and then," as if that describes how the typical privately owned vehicle is used by those who live outside of Manhattan.
