Car Sales Trends
While technology has made incredible advancements over the last few years, scientists have still not come up with a reliable way to tell the future. But there are plenty of knowledgeable experts who are willing to weigh in on what they see happening in the auto industry during 2017.
Car Sales Will Remain Healthy
In 2015, an astonishing 17.5 million light vehicles were purchased in the United States, and 2016 numbers are expected to top out at 18 million for an astronomic increase of 73 percent over the last seven years. Experts believe that the growing population will continue to boost sales, which could reach 20 million annually before hitting a natural slowdown.
Intuitive Dashboards Will Continue to Develop
Today’s cars are increasingly integrating touch screen along with voice and gesture control to access features, but don’t expect old-school buttons and knobs to disappear completely just yet.
Avoid Cars with Self-Driving Capabilities
If you truly can’t tear yourself away from your phone or tablet, self-driving features may be the way to go. But if you’re a normally attentive driver, these systems can become more of a distraction than the devices themselves.
