A trillion‑mile surge

These changes in consumer behavior seem modest, but 

small changes in personal travel choices can have a big 

impact in the future… and personal miles traveled (PMT) 

will soar! As we reported, our focus groups indicate that 

the oldest and youngest age groups have an increased 

interest in mobility-on-demand services. Based on current 

consumer perceptions, we would have expected only small 

effects from their increasing use of mobility options.

Our modeling tells us something far more exciting. It turns 

out that these small changes among the oldest and youngest 

demographic groups will likely produce large increases in 

personal miles traveled (PMT) by 2050: approximately 500 

billion more PMT annually. Once we factor in population 

growth, that increase in personal miles soars to nearly one 

trillion additional miles per year.

When we first calculated these figures, we were astonished. 

Then we looked at our assumptions and realized that the 

number is likely to be far larger. Our figures reflect only the 

United States, but the increasing demand for mobility 

options will be global. Japan’s more aged population will 

produce even greater need for mobility services for its 

seniors. China’s population, aging as a result of the one-child 

policy, represents a mind-boggling demand for mobility 

services only 20 years later than the United States.

The increase in personal miles traveled may seem startling, 

but think of it this way: 10 years ago, how many of us would 

have predicted that most 10-year-olds would be walking 

around with smartphones? We grossly underestimated that 

trend. If we don’t watch out, we’ll grossly underestimate 

the power of these changes in consumer behavior around 

mobility options.



One thing is for sure. 

Those additional personal miles traveled offer a golden 

opportunity for the auto industry. They represent an 

additional trillion miles of new mobility options and the 

potential for new business models to satisfy them. This 

then increases the pressure for powerful, strategic 

innovations to satisfy customer demand.

Small changes in the travel preferences by 

different age groups results in large changes in 

total personal miles traveled.

Impact to vehicle miles 

But we didn’t stop there because as it turns out, large 

increases in personal miles traveled can ripple into even 

larger fluctuations in vehicle miles traveled (VMT). As 

younger and older age groups are making small changes in 

their mobility decisions, the choices they make affect the 

number of average occupants in each vehicle.

At current occupancy rates, if the status quo were 

maintained then we’d see an over-trillion-mile surge in VMT. 

But, if those occupancy rates were to change—for 

example, if more younger or older age groups started to 

select new self-driving options—then we could see twice 

as much demand. And if we moved into a scenario where 

there are more people than cars on the road and 

occupancy rates fell below one person per car—for 

example, many self-driving cars without passengers—then 

the increase could be as large as three to four trillion 

additional miles. That is a staggering number, but one that 

is not outside the realm of possibility by 2050.

While not all of those miles necessarily translate into 

additional cars on the road, it does have the potential to 

change trip frequency, vehicle utilization, and ownership 

models. Furthermore, those increases will likely have a 

profound but unknown impact on vehicle sales, car 

ownership models, energy demand, and infrastructure. So 

much so that we believe that differences in the desired 

mobility experience may drive new tailored missions with 

enough underlying demand to influence the car sales down 

the road to meet those needs.
