DISRUPTION OF TRANSPORTATION SEJAPNTEUMARBYER20210818
FAST FOOD: With self-driving cars, people might simply input the coordinates of their destination, reducing the chance of detour for an impulse food purchase.
FOOD PREPARATION & DELIVERY: Automated vehicles could offer restaurants a way to efficiently deliver their food without needing to hire human drivers.
ENERGY & PETROLEUM: The already interrelated shifts toward electric and autonomous vehicles like Tesla’s Model S do suggest that there could be a depressed demand for gasoline itself.
REAL ESTATE: Faster and easier commutes could shift residential property value from properties in urban centers to those in suburban areas. In commercial real estate, spaces currently predicated on human drivers could be converted to other uses.
MEDIA & ENTERTAINMENT: Broadcasters will compete to provide video content that travelers will be able to consume without risking their safety. For advertisers, it could also create a huge opportunity to present riders with location-based ads for nearby goods and services.
DELIVERIES: When users can program their empty, driverless cars to fetch pizza, laundry, mail, groceries, and more, the need for dedicated delivery folks could decline sharply.
BRICK & MORTAR RETAIL: Convenience, in terms of proximity to residential areas or city centers, etc., may start to matter less when people can just slip into a driverless car and read, chat, or sleep instead of devoting energy to the act of driving.
AUTO DEALERSHIPS: The driverless car’s unique features and convenience may lead customers to seek on-demand usage models instead of committing to buying a car for their family’s exclusive use.
OIL CHANGE SHOPS & CAR WASHES: Oil change spots, car washes, and even rental outlets could all vanish as fleet owners focus on their own facilities or other solutions to handle these needs.
HEALTHCARE: Autonomous fleets could function as diagnostic checkup sites, turning driverless cars into a site for passengers to receive simple healthcare services, like blood pressure or heart rate checkups.
