Future of the Auto Industry: Futurist keynote speaker. Summary of key messages in keynote on auto industry trends and future of cars by Futurist Patrick Dixon, for event held by the National Auto Auctions Association (NAAA). Car manufacturers are placing a huge number of bets on a wide range of new automotive technologies ranging from auto batteries to hydrogen powered car engines, but only some of these will succeed. Emerging markets will drive growth in automotive sales for the next three decades. If every nation had the same proportion of car drivers as the United States, we would have four times as many vehicles on the roads of the world as today. Expect global car sales to exceed 107 million by 2020, up from 80 million in 2013. Car sales in China will grow from 19 million to around 31 million from 2013 to 2020, while car sales in Europe and Japan will remain relatively flat, with some recovery in the US.Hydrogen powered cars, e-cars, robot drivers.
