Im not sure the public is asking for self driving cars. Theyre being pushed into it to keep up with the public. Sick!
Oh Lord no! I grew up in Northeastern Ohio. I ciuldn’t be without my a/c in Florida. It’s funny, I just saw an ad for an advanced cruise control from Cadillac. I wonder if it will mostly be leases going forward and that will be how people will afford it. If you can’t own the technology, rent it.

It is not only technology, but cars in general nowdays are not affordable. My dad's mini van in the 90's was 21k out the door. Today, there is not many car you can get at this price. Most mini SUV starts at 26k, mini vans cannot be had for less than 36k plus taxes. Prices in CAD.

People just can't afford a car any more. My Yaris is turning 12 years old. I sold my wife's 14years old civic almost 2 years ago for a Mazda 5 due to growing family. 12k$ for a 6 years old car. There was no way I could afford a new one at 33k.

Most brand has already gone 7 or 8 years financing, or 5-6 years lease. It's very long, and can't be good for the future.
