A recent article in FA (Financial Advisor) by Ric Edelman
focused on the future caught my interest. One of the points made in the article
is: “It is unlikely that children
under the age of 5 will ever drive a car.” When I consider the fact that the
first self-driving car is currently trekking across the US
The article goes on: “Google’s test vehicles
have cumulatively driven nearly 1 million miles with no accidents, and they are
legal for street use in five states. They’re already permitted on every major
highway in the United
Kingdom
This could mean:
“…you’ll never park a car again, run errands, fuel up or shuttle kids to soccer
practice.” “Forget Uber. . self-driving cars will cause Uber—currently accused
of threatening the livelihoods of cabbies—to itself become extinct.”
“… taxi drivers (will) be gone, so too will truck drivers… With no human drivers making long-haul trips, no greasy-spoon joints will be needed. … chiropractors; no more auto accidents means far fewer back injuries”
“… taxi drivers (will) be gone, so too will truck drivers… With no human drivers making long-haul trips, no greasy-spoon joints will be needed. … chiropractors; no more auto accidents means far fewer back injuries”
“Hospital
emergency rooms will have far fewer patients …the entire automobile insurance
industry might disappear; and… police officers can’t issue citations for
traffic violations anymore (speeding tickets alone generate $6.2 billion in
annual revenue for local governments, according to the National Highway Safety
Administration).”
And more….will
change.
How about your
business? Are you planning ahead?
