There were pundits who said, hey, your business won't be as big in the future because everybody

won't own a vehicle.

And let's just go to a place where you ask somebody, how do you feel about the impact of the virus and your own vehicle I mean I haven't got

any data for this but you know that dynamically people are going to want to keep control of

their own spaces in the future.

I'm Jack Howe. Welcome to the Barron Streetwise Podcast.

The person you just heard is Jim Hackett. He's the CEO of Ford Motor Company.

He thinks that in the near term the pandemic might change

how people view services like Uber and Lyft

versus owning their own cars.

We'll hear more from Hackett and some Wall Street analysts in a moment about how the virus and the dire downturn it has created for carmakers, dealers, service shops and more.

We'll change the car business for now maybe forever.

Hi Mina. Hi Jack. So I have a big victory to tell you about.

All right.

I found my keys, my car keys and house keys.

They were lost for two weeks.

My wife found them actually.

They were on the floor next to the patio door.

And it's particularly satisfying because I always leave my keys in the same place. I rarely lose them.

It's very frustrating when I do. I try to backtrack my steps.

I sometimes I blame other people who took my keys. Sometimes I get into a metaphysical discussion about how, you know, I know they're here, how can they be here and not be here at the same time.

It's very frustrating.
