The car industry predicts that future vehicles will be self-driving and many are speculating how the future autonomous will impact today's fuel powered cars. When autonomous cars become the standard, today's 911 cars will no longer be of any use to owners so interest on these cars is expected to decline.
Road and Track has reported that many are speculating on the influence of future autonomous on today's high powered gas guzzlers. The influencing interaction is likened to the BMX bikes that made an impact on how current bicycle designs have evolved. The size of bikes has slowly increased to make way for older folks to use BMX bikes that may be too small for regular sized bikers.
Hopefully, the advent of the autonomous car technology might be a little different from the BMX bike experience. The ongoing developments in self-driving technology have been brought by the worldwide movement to conserve energy.
It can, therefore, be predicted that when the autonomous driving technology nears perfection, all fuel powered vehicles will no longer be allowed on roads and highways. The present power cars like the Porsche 911 Carrera will become antique equipment stocked in the exquisite garages of the rich.
Fuel-powered fast cars like the Viper, Lamborgini or Hyundai Accent will no longer be seen on roads and streets when autonomous cars start their environmental stranglehold on the car industry and transportation regulatory bodies. It is possible that in a perfected autonomous car world, there will be no need for car drivers that will become extinct like the Samurai warriors when guns were introduced.
Optimists are hopeful that driving will not become a lost art since legislations can be passed enabling gas powered fast cars to be used in selected race tracks for exhibition races once or twice a year. Many believe that such races will be games for the rich who can afford the staggering prices of future fuel fossils.
Autonomous cars are surely the future. They are surely having a profound effect on the availability and marketability of today's fuel-powered fast cars.
