00:00:01,916 --> 00:00:05,291
2.0 Saturdays here on The Answer
with this week's Tech Wednesday.
3
00:00:06,000 --> 00:00:07,791
The car automobile market
4
00:00:07,791 --> 00:00:11,458
worldwide is changing a lotand
in some ways not for the better.
5
00:00:11,500 --> 00:00:16,041
There are some major car brands out there
that might actually go bankrupt in coming
6
00:00:16,041 --> 00:00:19,916
years, and others that are restructuring
and a big part of the cause for
7
00:00:19,916 --> 00:00:21,375
this is the fact that the average
8
00:00:21,375 --> 00:00:25,291
transaction price for a vehicle now
a new vehicle is over $50,000.
9
00:00:25,708 --> 00:00:28,458
And a lot of this is due
to the fact of what's in the car.
10
00:00:28,458 --> 00:00:32,208
So the question is, is technology to blame
at least partially for this,
11
00:00:32,583 --> 00:00:36,208
for making it more costly to produce
because there's more to it?
12
00:00:36,625 --> 00:00:39,416
We're going to be talking about that
this week on user friendly 2.0,
13
00:00:39,416 --> 00:00:43,958
as well as some of what these new systems
do, why some of them might be important,
14
00:00:43,958 --> 00:00:46,541
and why some of them might not even
be things you want to have there,
15
00:00:46,541 --> 00:00:48,833
but you're going to have to pay for
anyway.
16
00:00:48,833 --> 00:00:51,083
We're also going to be talking
a little bit more about subscriptions.
17
00:00:51,083 --> 00:00:54,291
Do you want to have to pay a monthly fee
for your heated seats to work?
18
00:00:54,750 --> 00:00:55,750
