Everybody knows self-driving cars will soon be all over U.S. highways. Let’s assume self-driving cars will one day become as safe as human-controlled vehicles. Even so, there will still a huge problem with them. If you can get younger people to understand it, it might help them also think about why they should use your services, rather than robo-advisors.
The problem is: When people start depending on self-driving cars delivered by Google, Apple or Uber, they won’t learn how to drive. They will never learn (or forget) how to: navigate their surroundings, care for valuable machinery, budget for an important purchase, and solve problems behind the wheel. A big part of the human learning curve will no longer be necessary – made obsolete by technology.
