That's not a model we subscribed to in the past, aside from the last Administration. When it comes to the future of the automobile and related legislation I sincerely hope we don't follow the European "model" for example. It would not bode well for the displacement biased performance cars we embrace on this side of the globe - at all.The global community will ultimately dictate which way we go, our elected leaders and their policies we support or challenge will determine the pace.
People can't buy what the automakers don't make.Most buy on what their needs are. If they need a truck for work or just like the look they are going to buy regardless of who is in office or what the current EPA regs are. A good example is us buying the GT350s even though they have a gas guzzler tax. We wanted them so we bought them regardless.
There is a new group of consumers that don't want to bothered with anything car related. Down to filling it up with gas. No checking or worrying about when to change your oil etc etc. They want cars as maintenance/worry free as humanly possible.
This "new group" worries me on a number of fronts. They want a lot of things but sadly don't want to put in the effort.
You got it. Large cities may embrace driverless pods. Outside of the cities, no.This concept will work great in densely populated areas. Not so much in areas where there are 10 people per 100 square miles.
