For more than 100 years the automotive sector has been one of the most important industries in the world. For decades it has meant strength, wealth and industrial power.
Companies like General Motors, Volkswagen or Toyota are real industrial giants with factories scattered all over the world. To a large extent, these companies were responsible for spreading the tentacles of the great industrial powers all over the planet.
However, the automotive industry isn’t going through its best moments… At least in terms of popularity. The electric car, the autonomous car, car sharing or trend changes make many experts point to the decline of the big car companies. We’ll tell you what is happening in this video and whether this idea is feasible or not.

Can’t believe they spend so much on r n d. perhaps clever accounting means you can save a bucket load on tax.
Bald idiot.How much money governments are paying you to say all these bullshit stuff???Let me know.

At least in my area. You need a car. You could do an uber. But public transportation isn’t a thing.You need a car.
Disliked the video…..too many ADs, click bait video. Also….half of it is off topic information.
I teach business strategy at degree level. I ask every cohort of students, would you buy a car that drives for you? The answer is always the same. So far only 1 mature student said yes. EVERYONE else said no. Who is doing the market research on this? Nobody wants a car that drives itself. A taxi yes, even then they don’t trust the safety and are we basing all this on nobody owning a car? The strategy seems to be running itself. A classic ‘solution looking desperately for a problem’.
E scooter sharing is too sexy
Simon, the method of propulsion will change and it is going to be very expensive to the industry. But as far as self driving cars I don’t think that will be happening soon. Because that will require governments to make huge investments in infrastructure. Highly automated highways that will control traffic. With the global economy on the verge of recession I don’t see the funding for new highways.
6:59 Beijing’s auction system for car license plates is inspired by Singapore’s Vehicle Quota System, which since 1990 has required vehicle buyers (including electric & hybrid ones, but except government, diplomatic & public transport vehicles) to bid & buy a "Certificate of Entitlement" (CoE) each, which has to be renewed every 10 years (& becomes less economical to renew as the car gets older, thus also effectively putting a price floor on 2nd hand cars). By controlling the CoE supply the government is able to control the car population
The title should be " The Crisis of our economy depending on producing millions of cars that will destroy our earth, which will destroy our kids" humans are definately not the most intelligent animals. …
Good, their dealerships are trying to sell their new vehicles at half the cost of a house with payments lasting near 10 years.
It’s interesting that people on YouTube can claim something is true, when it isn’t.
Do not forget that in India the moped and different motors are more favoured than the cars. XD
Last week I watched an ExonMobil presentation about the energy sector. It was quite interesting. XD
And also all I could see from the data concerning the fall of the car industry there are signs of decline right now just check for example the statista database of Audi. They predict stagnating sales.
Growing up in a poor community, food , house and car, was what we aspired to.
Hydrogen cars will reduce the carbon foot print more than electric cars. But, there is still the need for more roads.
Urbanization move people into public transport. Like people are working from home, others might live like nomads, which brings us to the mobile home and caravan parks.
And we might move onto developing cars that don’t need roads. That will be great for developments where we don’t need roads.
We might move occupying places that don’t look habitable at the moment, if we can take what we need there, and through smart waste disposal make it self sustaining.
Very good no more gasoline car no pollution
Where Is Greta Thunberg?
It seems as though the world is on the fast lane toward cleaning the car industry from polluting emissions. Everyone is rushing to create clean cars, whether battery or hydrogen powered engines, and bask in their cleanness.
But the green alibi hides behind it a dirty truth: Zero emission does not mean zero pollution. Mining rare Earth materials required for zero-emissions engines, building charging stations, and the complex logistics surrounding the “clean” industries will take a heavy toll on Earth. In the end, the only ones who will gain from the “clean revolution” are the tycoons who are selling it to us, and the government officials who placate them for their own reasons.
Where is Greta Thunberg these days? Like the rest of the pawns in the battle for wealth and power, the “climate knights” have sent her back to oblivion once they finished using her. It is all power games among giant corporations, but the environment and the climate are no one’s concern.
Even if we switch to wind energy or ocean-wave energy, I don’t believe that we will gain much. We will have to pay for it elsewhere.
For this reason, I think that the crux of the problem is not emissions, but our behavior toward nature and toward our fellow human beings. Here is where we can produce positive and lasting results. If we could communicate with one another positively, we could stop the madness of excessive development that manufactures unnecessary and harmful products.
If we could slow down a bit, we wouldn’t need to burn so much fuel in order to defeat competitors in a race for wealth that makes no one happy. Only if we realize that our happiness depends on the quality of our relationships, and not on the padding of our bank accounts, we will be able to pause a little, think, and rebuild our civilization in a way that contributes to nature, to humanity, and to each of us.
Socialism.bankrupt it
People are in debt: students, high rent, outsourcing of jobs… what do you expect.
The money is becoming worthless every day. What cause it
They keep making expensive shit boxes that ppl dont want! Wasting money on r&d and prototypes that never make it to market! Wasting billions on marketing to try and sell shit boxes! No one wants a shit box that is less reliable but slightly more fuel efficient than the 20 year old shit box they bought of these A holes 20 years ago!
Uber instead car, upfront costs and parking are too expensive
CO2 does NOT drive global warming, it follows temperature increase… this Climate Change CON is nothing more than a UN Agenda 21/2030 globalist plan for total control of everything on the planet…. they will kill the car, kill your freedom and continue with the relentless propaganda, repeat, repeat, repeat until our economies are dead and everyone is dependent on the state ! (Quietly or be punished with their digital fines in the carbon based block chain digital currency to save climate !!! NONSENSE)
NOT the decline of automobile, it’s the decline of automobile quality… Nowadays, 1.5L engine SUV is now avaible in the market.. a pathetic 1.5L??!!
Big brother doesn’t want us traveling freely. They have punished auto manufacturers with changing and difficult mandates. If they wanted clean air they would just set standards than walk away. Nope, they change the standards making it difficult to design and build emission devices. Crash tests change making it difficult and expensive to redesign models. They have deliberately created policies to make it hard for us to get affordable cars.
The money to be made in cars is converting existing cars to electric, and the auto industry refuses to make a self charging car. The gasoline car has gotten too expensive to repair, and to insure. I disagree that GM sells a lot of cars in China.
Who is daft enough to believe owning a car is about getting from one place to another?
Are fewer people owning cars OR buying new cars? Cars are getting more reliable and expensive, so there’s no longer a need or ability to replace them as often.
too long man
not worth it
Sustainability will be a question of how to get humanity to value "less stuff". We have to re-engineer our societal value systems.
The auto industry will carry on adapting changing innovating as it has always done since the days of Henry Ford, companies will come, Tesla, companies will go, Saab, other industries will get involved the modern car will have more in common with the washing machine as electrification evolves, emerging markets China India their cars will grow old and be replaced and so on
Wow what a relic of a video. Perfectly capturing the whole pre THING view and mindset.
Tesla is doing great
Lower the prices so they are affordable. Overpaid assembly line workers, extravagant benefits all lead to overpriced cars. $500 plus a month payment average? Insane
Indonesians are car lovers. Everyone wants to lease one and be a taxi driver for supposedly easy money. The problem is that nobody’s got a garage and this place was built for going everywhere on foot or by horse. Bottlenecks everywhere when someone parks their car on the side of a busy road.
Automotive corporaton in Europe lost billion of net profit in 20 yrs , the net profit in new cars built today is much less
The failures in the car industry have much to do with their successes.
"They don’t make ’em like they used to" was the lament of many mechanics of the past knowing that some older cars were made better.
Today, cars don’t rust like they used to. Thank you powder coating.
Cars don’t go out of tune with any regularity. Thank you computers.
Piston rings don’t give up compression. Thank you to better alloys.
85,000 miles was stretching it in the 70s. Today a 200,000 mile car is still worth buying.
The market needs to adapt.
Unfortunately, with government intervention, cars are passionless and unenjoyable.
Electric cars are a probably going to be a flash in the pan because of the rare earth minerals and conflict minerals needed to make it happen.
BRING SIMON BACK !
We use the word Crisis far to often.
Copart salvage vehicles are causing inflation in America. For over two decades salvage vehicles have progressively been swarming our highways and streets without notice competing with the vehicle industry. Having hundreds ofthousands of people buying salvaged vehicles for profit devalue the market and has been a rising concern. Mexico car industry has crashed in regards to inflation due to Copart salvage vehicles and the united States is Next.
Why does the cars per capita list have the USA up the top when it is 4th in the world – beaten by San Marino, Monaco, and New Zealand. The next one down (Australia) is 8th.
Lucky if you can get by without a car.
A person with no car can pay off his house 10 years before the next person.
With the wacko environmentalist making decisions on how to build a car., cars are less fun and very uncomfortable today. After testing new models, their tight fit and too many gadget made me repair my old cars. I don’t want the cheap plastic uncomfortable version of cars they make today.
Spent my working life in the car business. Harsh competition have bought the car industry to the edge of self destruction, as evidenced by the fact that instead of outright trying to sell their cars, they are happy also to either lease or rent, because they have priced their cars over what the market is willing to pay for.
Fortunately Tesla is showing them the way to safety. For as Battery costs are rapidly sliding down, in a year or two they will be able to offer the market electric cars much cheaper to manufacture and a much more profitable product needing no more than 25% of the parts needed to build a comparable ICE car. will they grab the opportunity early enough? That is up them, but those that will ignore the need for immediate action, they will be later faced with the harsh reality that there are no alternative or surrogate for pure electric battery traction. Because the consumer is asking for them mainly for their very low operating costs, incredible longevity, and the very high incidence of dependability for a fraction of fuel costs that they will find in the electric socket.
this video seems to completely fail to take car enthusiasts into account. theres millions of us and i think i can safely say that all of them will be defiant to the end.
what an analysis!!!
Now that it has all been stolen by China and India. What did you expect to happen?
The manufactures like BMW, Mercedes and Volkswagen have had a field day over the years with their high priced high spec vehicles, half the stuff fitted to these vehicles drivers never use or need and the sooner these manufactures drop all this Crap and get back to making cars more affordable the better it will be for them and us. The cost of Genuine Parts is Rediculous, they bare no resemblance to the actual cost of making the parts, most manufactures use parts made in China which are supplied at massive discounts to them and then sell them on to the unsuspecting customer at sky high prices who actually believe they are German Parts so must be top Spec. There are hundreds of part manufactures around the world that bid to supply parts to these manufactures and these said manufactures Screw Them to the floor on price to get a contract and then pass them of as genuine parts by putting them in their boxes. This is what has happened to our Motor Parts Industry in this country because China have lower costs and can undercut parts that are made here. Brembo Brakes which were renown for quality and realiability are now made in China along with the Major tyre Manufactures who have built factories there and left Europe to lower costs. Until country’s impose tariffs on Chinese Goods coming into the country this is going to continue at the expense of our work forces jobs and that Tosser Corbyn wants to make manufacturing even dearer here with his crazy plans.
Bmw makes $5000usd net profit, Porsche makes $17000usd net profit off each 911 built in Germany dickhead
I am glad the population is getting more urban. Leave my woods and mountains alone.
Nice
