99% of people who fly would like to fly a private plane if it was the same price as economy airfare, so asking this question would have to account for that. (That 1% are people who actually care about things like the environment).
Yes 50% of people would ... However, would they if it meant the product was 5% less expensive? suddenly that number drops to 10% ...

If the AI is saving the company money, such that they can reduce the price to consumers, most consumers would take the cheaper product. The same is true with child labor, as long as it is done in China, and people can buy their shoes cheaper, sounds good to them. This is why markets will not be regulated based on consumer choice.

There seems to be a lot on the cost, except for a small detail:

How much does it really cost? that is the fundamental question, what is the cost to actually plan, build, operate, decommission?

What is the added cost of compliance? I think many companies are now looking at this because perhaps most of the "cost" is not actual cost but due to many rules and regulations and these costs can be negotiated away, lobbied away, and just removed.

I just had this conversation on the draconian clamp down of people "sharing" their account. I said it will hit the saturation point, initially getting more subscribers but eventually falling away to devices that let people stream for free. People will now look for these devices. When people could share (ie I pay for Steaming service A you pay for B and we share) that was not a bad deal, but when everyone is forced to pay and it is easy to find alternatives ...

There is zero chance they will admit this without being found guilty in court. Now they can say they already did remediation if there is any court action, and will make sure any new scam will be less obvious.

It is so good I forget it is there when I send people links and didn't even know 80% of the page was ads !!

How will it be enforced?

I learned yesterday that the Magnusonâ"Moss Warranty act spelled out in detail that if a company doesn't honor the warranty and you take them to court they have to cover attorney fees. That is all great except that the judges decided, nah we are not going to follow that, instead we will say no to the fees and only allow to recover the loss. Thus making the law useless since no lawyer will take the case as they know this will happen.

I suspect this will be similar

I sadly actually read the article and it addressed (not at all) where my mind went. What about fees?
Just some assurance that it will be "reasonable" basically Ticketmaster is protected, they get the fees from person A, then get to charge more fees to person B.
The correct title is UK proposes making sure Ticketmaster profits are protected in banning others from profiting off reselling tickets.

Except when you have so much to see and stream ... seems it is not as effective since with steaming now people are used to shows going off the service all the time.
I feel Disney just doesn't have the same negotiating power, and people can p ... find a different way to view it.

Your selective memory of things will say yes it was, since you will wax nostalgic on the handful of sites you miss and can remember, but have already erased from your memory that ones that your friends put together with yellow on pink.

Citation need!
EVs are a mixed bag with cost, less maintenance but more expensive to maintain, and insure. There are studies that have shown this.
Battery is warrantied for 100,000 because it was mandated, lifecycle is how much longer that car will last until it costs too much to repair or be useful. However, ev cars are only around 20 years or so, and there is not enough data, however the preliminary reports are they are not as long lived.

Did you actually read the NHTSA paper? It is about miles driven not lifetime of the car. Older cars are not driven as many miles, and it is a pretty linear with the age of the car. The study goes back 40 years, so clearly some cars 40 years old are still being driven. The paper as written had no data source for their assumptions, otherwise it would not be an assumption, it would be: Based on the data we collected ... they used the data by NHTSA and took it to equate to all vehicles would have the same driving patterns and last as long, that is where they made the assumption they did not actually look at data for longevity of the car.

"2.3. Use Phase We assume electrified and nonelectrified vehicles have the same lifetime vehicle miles traveled (VMT): 191,386 miles for sedans, 211,197 miles for SUVs, and 244,179 miles for pickup trucks in our baseline scenario. (30) The lifecycle use phase emissions for ICEV and HEV are calculated using eq 1."

Assume? is this not a research paper, how about ... you know ... do research? I mean even a simple google search will do better than whoever these clowns are.
Honda CRV via google:
A well-maintained Honda CR-V can last for 250,000 to 300,000 miles, with some owners reporting well over 300,000 miles on their vehicles. The CR-V's longevity is a result of its durable engineering, but reaching these high mileage milestones depends on consistent, proper maintenance, including regular servicing, and avoiding harsh conditions.
Toyota Camary via google
A Toyota Camry's average mileage lifespan is around 200,000 to 300,000 miles, with some well-maintained models potentially exceeding this range. This high longevity is due to Toyota's strong engineering and reliability, but it is also heavily influenced by factors such as regular and proper maintenance, driving habits, and the climate in which the vehicle is operated
Nissan Leaf via google:
The Nissan Leaf has a potential lifetime mileage of 200,000 miles or more, but this is highly dependent on battery health, which is influenced by climate, driving habits, and charging practices. While Nissan's original battery warranty typically covers 100,000 miles, many owners achieve significantly higher mileage with good care, as shown by anecdotal reports of Leafs exceeding 150,000 miles and even reaching 230,000 miles with original batteries.
so in short ... EV about 60% of the life of the ICE, no need to assume.

slam dunk the passengers will lose (or get a $10 credit for their next flight)
Lifetime doesn't mean lifetime
Buy doesn't mean purchase
Own doesn't mean right of first sale anymore.

Visa and MC like money, and they will lobby to get laws changed if anything is affecting their money flow. Gamers have zero chance of getting laws changed, but Visa and MC can ...

Honestly, for individuals they will not bother with AI:
People use aggregators
incognito mode
Someone else's machine
And overall look for how to get a very cheep price for their leisure travel.
This will roll out to people who travel for work, they don't care about the price, just if it is in company policy, so delta will figure out what the maximum they can charge and still get the business. Companies will get the brunt of this ... and thus consumers as those prices are passed into the cost of doing business.
