There’s a massive number of efforts going on to kill the car as we know it. Among them are efforts to make it a tiny self-driving box that we’d likely be embarrassed to be seen in, efforts to make it highly customized and amazing, and efforts to change its fuel from gasoline to CNG, electricity or something else. There is no doubt that the car as we know it soon will be dead. The question is whether we’ll love or hate what replaces it, and I wonder if our children will look back at what we’ve done and praise us or curse us.
Anywhere else in the world, Rob, and you might be correct. But not in the States...not in the next 50 years at least. Operator controlled cars will survive and thrive in a country that still refuses to give up its guns.
Just waiting to see when the hackers will start taking over the cars and controlling the cars instead of the machine. That's when IT services are going to need to offer mechanics work.
