Right now the car industry is in the state of transformation because although right now we can still see cars that we are used to, after a few years these cars might be replaced by electric cars that aren’t driven by a person anymore, but that drives people around allowing them to do other things in their commute to work or school while still keeping the comforts of your own car. So really it is not the easiest job to predict what the future holds for the car industry, but I will try and tell you about the possible future of the car industry.

Right now there are about 1 billion officially registered cars in the world although the actual count of cars probably is closer to 2 billions. And all these cars not only need drivers but also need gas to fuel them, as well as auto repair salons to repair them and car washes to clean them. So really the car industry is more than cars themselves, it is everything that is related to cars making it one of the biggest industries that is able to employ a lot of people. Moreover because every year auto manufacturers make about 100 million new cars, the car industry is not only one of the biggest industries, but also one of the biggest markets in the world. Which makes it important to try and predict where this industry will go in the future, because so many people are counting it for jobs.

Even if right now car industry is that big, experts say that in the future there might be a significant decline in the size of this industry. There are two main reasons for this. One of them is that right now technologically fields related to car industry have become so advanced that so many things right now can be done automatically and by machines limiting the amount of jobs that the industry can provide. Additionally the fact that cars in the future probably won’t even need drivers, will make the car industry undesirable to many, because a lot of people will lose their jobs because of the advanced technologies. The second reason is that because right now the car industry is already so big and there are so many cars worldwide, it causes huge traffic jams as well as smog, so many people are starting to think how to limit their impact on environment. And one of the ways is limit the amount of cars and their usage that will automatically make the car industry smaller, because people will use their cars less, will buy less cars and therefore will need less of all the other services related to car upkeep.

Fortunately right now each of us having our own car is still convenient, comfortable and a must, because public transportation is ineffective and because nowadays people value their time too much, they still use personal cars to get to their destination faster. But in the future when cars that drive themselves will be common and there will be option to rent a car for cheap anywhere you are, personal cars will probably be much less desirable option and the car industry will really suffer from this change. And if we add the fact that in the future gasoline and diesel engines will be replaced by electric engines that are not only cleaner but also more efficient making electric, self-driving cars much better than regular cars, we can be sure that car industry needs to search for new ways how to earn money based on these new technologies and do it fast, for it to keep being one of the main industries and one of the biggest markets.
