On: Is the Era of Great Famines Over?

The automotive industry is only one piece of the puzzle. And narrowrail disagrees (as do I) that the change will happen in 5 years. That's less than the average age of all vehicles being used!

Average age doesn't matter. 95 percent of the time a car sits unused.

You don't need to replace 100 percent of the cars. You only need to replace 5 percent of them.

I don't know about you, but I seem to need to get around at about the same time as a lot of other people (and usually in the same direction).

Taxis are replaced roughly every two years because they are driven so hard. Passenger vehicles changing to autonomous won't affect jobs, but taxis going autonomous will.
