Change is Coming
For those of us who remember the days when there were no computers or cell phones, technological advances are coming at a faster rate than we ever imagined. In the not-too-distant future, computers may become as fast as the human brain and software will emulate human intelligence.
Today, it is unlikely that children under the age of five will ever drive a car with the advent of self-driving automobiles. Google’s test vehicles have cumulatively driven over one million miles with no accidents, and they are legal for street use in five states. This change alone will eventually make Uber drivers, truck drivers, truck stops and valets extinct. Can you imagine no more auto accidents and speeding tickets? The results could have a major impact on auto manufactures, auto collision and liability insurance, auto repair shops not to mention the lost revenue for cities and counties. According to the US Department of Transportation, there is an average of six million car accidents in the U.S. every year. More than ninety people die in car accidents every day and over three million people are injured every year in car accidents. Americans spend $157 billion on auto insurance and the losses due to property damage, lost wages, lost household production, medical and legal costs, rehabilitation expenses and workplace cost total 3.7% of our nation’s GDP. These changes are closer than many people realize.
