China’s market for ride-hailing services, whose growth has slowed to less than 5% this year from 25% in 2018, will rebound to at least 10% in 2021, predicts Bain & Co.

The consultancy’s annual mobility report forecasts that ridership will rise as service quality improves and the government steps up regulations to offset concerns over a spate of vehicle crashes last year.

Bain estimates that the on-demand mobility market in China will reach about $60 billion in two years. The firm anticipates renewed growth in other Asian markets too.

Self-driving vehicles will have a major impact on mobility in emerging Asian markets, according to the report. It suggests that service providers could lower operating costs by reducing incentives for riders and shifting to electric vehicles.

  • Mustang Changes for 2018

    On Tuesday Ford unveiled—using the social media channels of actor Dwayne Johnson (this has got to unnerve some of the auto buff book editors)—the 2018 Mustang, which has undergone some modifications: under the hood (the 3.7-liter V6 is giving way to a 2.3-liter EcoBoost four, and a 10-speed automatic is available), on the dash (a 12-inch, all-digital LCD screen is available for the dashboard), at the tires (12 wheel choices), on the chassis (MagneRide damper technology is being offered with the Mustang Performance Package), and on the exterior (three new paint colors). And while on the subject of the exterior, there are some notable changes—a lower, remodeled hood, repositioned hood vents, new upper and lower front grilles, LED front lights, revised LED taillamps, new rear bumper and fascia.
