The global sales of cars and SUVs will fall again this year, with Germany falling the most at 4%, according to Forbes. Despite this, most experts agree that 2020 will mark the end of this decline. A good reason is the advent of self-driving cars since it can help to decrease the risk of accidents among older adult drivers.
