Summary

The video discusses a prediction that US auto sales will decline by over 2 million units by 2040, citing declining birth rates and the rise of autonomous vehicles as key factors. The speaker suggests that fewer people having children and the eventual prevalence of self-driving cars will reduce the overall demand for personal vehicle ownership.

CAR SALES ARE ABOUT TO COLLAPSE 👀 also correct in thinking that it's, they're actually forecasting that into like future automotive sales and the decline of future automotive sales because of the declining birth rates and other trends. But that's really interesting. Like if you're sitting around at Ford, you're taking a look at those numbers and forecasting how that's going to impact your sales. You know, in let's say 2040, this drive sales down by more than 2 million units by 2040. So 2 million units a year by 2040 is what they're predicting a drop in sales of cars. And one of the reasons is like we discussed people not having children. If you only have one person in your one car, right? Yeah. And then maybe if you have children, you're changing your cars more frequently. Second, I think the need for cars will probably slowly slowly evaporate with autonomous vehicles.

I'm also correct in thinking that it's, they're actually forecasting that into like future automotive sales and the decline of future automotive sales because of the declining birth rates and other trends. But that's really interesting. Like if you're sitting around at Ford, you're taking a look at those numbers and forecasting how that's going to impact your sales. You know, in let's say 2040, this drive sales down by more than 2 million units by 2040. So 2 million units a year by 2040 is what they're predicting a drop in sales of cars. And one of the reasons is like we discussed, um, people not having children. If you only have one person in your household, you only need one car, right? Yeah. And then maybe if you have children, you're changing your cars more frequently. Second, I think the need for cars will probably slowly slowly evaporate with autonomous vehicles.
