Researchers project that by 2035 automakers will sell 12 million fully-autonomous vehicles globally. Another 18 million semi-autonomous cars are also part of the projection on the same timeframe.
Based on these projections (and a lot of other factors), autonomous vehicles could corner as much as 25% of the new car market. Researchers suggest that the automobile market growth could hover somewhere between $42 to $77 billion. There's no doubt that the self-driving vehicle revolution will bring about a paradigm shift in the auto world.
Are you ready for the revolution? Let's count the ways self-driving vehicles will change the way we get around.
Self-Driving Vehicles Will End Car Ownership
The arrival of autonomous vehicles is sure to bring an end to our love affair with the automobile. Since the first car rolled off the assembly line in 1885, humans have had a fascination for wheeled transport. The driving public has made, bought, and sold many vehicles over the past century. Carmakers have pushed the boundaries of speed, style, and cost.
The arrival of autonomous vehicles is sure to bring an end to our love affair with the automobile.
Several years from now, the status quo will change. People won't fuss about owning the newest, fastest, and flashiest car anymore. When fleets of self-driving vehicles are on-call 24/7 and requesting one is easier than ordering a pizza, individual vehicle sales will plummet. Who wants to drive when you can sit back and enjoy the ride?
Self-Driving Cars Will Replace Human Drivers
Economies will change when autonomous vehicles arrive. Human drivers will become obsolete as industries start to see the benefits of employing a fleet of self-driving cars. Jobs held by human drivers (such as bus, train, and taxi drivers) could be in jeopardy as a result of driverless vehicles. Other commercial driving jobs such as trucking fleets, farming, and manufacturing are also in danger.
PRO TIP: When you buy a used car, you should always do a vin check to get to know the history of the car.
Autonomous Vehicles Can Change the Retirement Age
Generation X and Y will be close to retirement age when 2035 rolls around. Chances are, people in this age bracket have already moved to a quiet house in the suburbs. Driving and taking public transport to work in the city is easy when you're younger, but gets progressively harder as you age.
Difficulties getting around can force some seniors to opt for early retirement. Self-driving cars will push the retirement age back a few more years and let seniors go out on their terms.
