Virus could spell the end of mass transit and a boon to auto sales

Virus could spell the end of mass transit and a boon to auto salesThe biggest issue with COVID-19 is the lack of an effective treatment for it...a vaccine is years away, if its even possible (AFAIK there are no vaccines for Coronavirises)


Once there is an effective treatment for it, things will get back to "normal" (how ever you want to define it)


Short term I see this seriously curtailing AV efforts in the auto industry, due to the loss in sales (no money to research it) and resistance to getting into a vehicle in a situation like we have now.


Closest situation we've had like this is the Spanish Flu, and that was a 101 or so years ago...Maybe Polio outbreak of the 1950s? Its a possibility, but this happening regularly is pretty far fetched.Thu, 23 Apr 2020 23:14:54 +0000
