I want to talk about any special family activities that are going on. And you mentioned the internet, obviously. But the concept to me with some of the vehicles, and you see the television commercials, like hey, the app…. I like that analogy.
But yeah, our vehicles are, in almost all cases, the second most expensive purchase that we make in our lifetime. And the concept of doing one without actually interacting with a person, without actually sitting in the thing.
Family friendliness goes hand in hand with automotive shows everywhere. And joining me is Kevin Leap. But yeah, our vehicles are, in almost all cases, the second most expensive purchase that we make in our lifetime. And now, will those be taking place, the ride and drives be taken place Thursday through Sunday each day of the show, or the ride and drives only going to be on specific days? So basically if you find something that you like, you basically just go to a dealership at that point.
But one of the things to is that people are keeping their cars for a very long time these days. You know… Okay. On that note, I want to throw out one other personal thing, and podcast listeners know this. And the coolest thing is that I get, every two to three years, whatever my lease term is, I get to go out and shop and get the latest, greatest technology that the manufacturers, all manufacturers are putting out these days.
And I mean, these things are technological marvels on wheels. Oh man. So back to the show. Family friendliness goes hand in hand with automotive shows everywhere.
They get to look at the engines and talk with a product specialist. But we have family…. And put that dang phone down. And then we have all sorts of stuff. You know, fun stuff. What do you see in the future? So, then what do you see for the future in that unique position? For the future of auto shows? And millennials are really taking their time to decide whether or not to buy one.
Plus some things in the dealer franchise system are being challenged.
And autonomous vehicles is a whole new thing. I mean we could throw a rock outside the front door and hit Qualcomm. As we were talking about autonomous vehicles before, I went to an all-day seminar or conference on autonomous vehicles, and they were talking about the number of accidents that were caused by them.
And autonomous vehicles do the full-on stop. So anyway. One of the things that I fell in love with it or just marveled at, the first Popular Mechanics cover that I saw with a mockup of a flying car. And it was a suburban, it was an aerial view of a suburban kind of house, and I think it was a red flying car had just come out of the garage, and the husband and wife or whatever were in the flying car and happily jetting away from their house. Any prediction… You mentioned five years will be interesting, but any prediction on flying cars?
Maybe it is a fairy tale. It seems like it might be a little bit more real. And when you see all of the different things that are happening with potential delivery service and surveillance and law enforcement using it to get to the scene of the crime more quickly and things like that.
