These are exciting times as we witness a transportation evolution. Pundits predict that on-demand ride sharing will replace car ownership substantially. Hybrid and electrical vehicles are growing in popularity in response to environmental regulations and governmental policy. The "connected car" seamlessly takes over and let our "connected life" continue through its infotainment system at the turn of the ignition switch. The race is on for fully autonomous vehicles, with carmakers offering ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems) features that reduce accidents and casualties.
