Where do you see the automobile industry in 6-12 years?
more consolidation.both in terms of design and brands. basically what happened to smartphones will happen to cars. in 2050 you will be able to choose between 3 brands that put out soap shaped bus sized SUVs that look EXACTLY the same.
Rolling eggs.Screens with rumble.Gay sex with hats on.
>>28702418>Screens with rumble.What?
>>28702400Nowhere near this fucking cool, that's for sure.

more bing bing wahoo, less glass
>>28702400I expect to see the top of the market move away from turbocharging to naturally aspirated parallel hybrids, as well as a move away from screen slop.I expect business as usual for everything else.
>>28702400On its knees with a taste of politicians dick on teir breath begging for gibs, kind of like right now
>>28702400>unreasonably long landyachts with sharp pointsI can only get so erect.
>>28702400>Where do you see the automobile industry in 6-12 years?Car culture kinda just dies and becomes more pay-to-play, so it becomes a hobby for the rich, like horse racing.You'll get appliances but you really won't think about them at all.
>>28702400Hellish dystopia
>>28702400Only the ultra wealthy will be able to afford cars.Ice cars will be outlawed.Everyone will be poor and forced to get around town using Chinese e-scooters.
>>28702400If there's one thing not a single futuristic painter of yersteryear has predicted, it's how fat A-pillars got over time.
More vans, desprate push to autonomous, EV's being largely relegated to autonomous, and a massive consolidation of basically all non-toyota/Toyota aligned car brands.
>>28702400self-driving taxis take over, most governments try to ban sales of new human-drivable cars citing safety.
>>28702400Extinct.
Every car is a shit crossover Engines that are less than 1L Unnecessary large screens that lag
exactly the same as now trying to extend the life of legacy products indefinitly while half heartedly making evs that no one can afford unless they are chinese
>>28702400AWD performance hybrids with gas RWD and electric FWD will be the default platform for mid-market sports cars. The E-Ray, GT3 Hybrid, and Revuelto are all great successes and their tech will trickle downFour wheel steering will become relatively commonplace, and marketed to soccer moms as parking aidsEuropeans will be universally range banned from /o/ because cars literally won't exist there anymoreNissan will be dead, but its NISMO branch will be acquired by Toyota in order to build a god-tier Supra/Lexus FDodge will come out with a new V10, but the cars it's in will be over 5,000 lbs so nobody will careChevy will embarrass Ferrari (and everyone else by extension) in F1 until F1 makes the cars completely electric at which point viewer interest will completely disappearAir-conditioned seats will become as popular as heated seats, if not moresoThe NE Miata will come out and be the exact same car as the ND but with 5 more horsepower
>>28702400the return of landbarges with 8 litre engines
>>28702400Diesel electrics and hydrogen electrics will become prevalent. Pure EV sales will stagenate near where they are and focus on Karl Urban areas
>>28702682eTurbo hybrids are the future
>>28702400If we beat the jews we get landyachts with 250hp 1k cid enginesUntil then, we suffer
>>28702400i would live with those weird ayy horses if i get to drive that
>>28702400Ford will get very close to bankruptcy. Stellantis will kill half of its brands, and reorganize the American arm so there are only two brands.GM will continue making uninspired generic slop as well as pants on head retarded halo models. A major merger will happen between at least 2 western/Japanese marques. I predict Ford and Volkswagen
>>28702400gps limited speedo crapinterlocks for vaxx/drug checks5g/6g+ always online cant turn off abs/tcs/speed limiter without the car phoning home and instantly finedInstant fines for departing lanes not indicating etc just like 5th element korbin dallas taxi
>>28708145>eTurbo hybrids are the futuree turbos are sickwish they'd make one for barras, dont get me wrong lags fun but i would like to be able to have adjustable turbo anti lag/spool
>>28708107>Four wheel steering will become relatively commonplace, and marketed to soccer moms as parking aidswe had this back in the 80-00s it didnt catch on then
>>28702400There's no saving it.
>>28702400At the very least I hope Ford of Europe fucking burns and dies, what they did to the Capri will not be forgiven
