Johann Steynberg has been in the automotive industry for 30 years and has witnessed the evolution of the car firsthand. He shares his thoughts on the future of the car and what he believes will be the most significant changes in the next 10 years.

I started working on cars when I was 15 years old. My father was a mechanic, and I used to help him out in the garage. I loved taking things apart and putting them back together. When I was 18, I got my first job as a mechanic at a local dealership. I worked my way up through the ranks and eventually became a service manager.
In the early days, cars were much simpler than they are today. They didn't have computers, and they were much easier to fix. Today's cars are much more complex, and they require specialized knowledge and equipment to repair them.
I've seen a lot of changes in the automotive industry over the years. One of the most significant changes has been the rise of electronics. Cars today are packed with electronics, and they control everything from the engine to the brakes. This has made cars much more efficient and safer, but it has also made them more complex to repair.
Another major change has been the development of new technologies, such as electric vehicles and self-driving cars. Electric vehicles are becoming increasingly popular, and they're likely to become even more popular in the future. Self-driving cars are still in the early stages of development, but they have the potential to revolutionize the way we travel.
I believe that the next 10 years will see even more significant changes in the automotive industry. Here are some of the changes that I expect to see:

  • The rise of electric vehicles. Electric vehicles are becoming increasingly popular, and they're likely to become even more popular in the future. This is due to the fact that they're more efficient and cheaper to operate than gasoline-powered vehicles.
  • The development of self-driving cars. Self-driving cars are still in the early stages of development, but they have the potential to revolutionize the way we travel. Self-driving cars could make our roads safer and more efficient, and they could free up our time for other activities.
  • The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into cars. AI is already being used in cars in a number of ways, such as to control the engine and brakes. In the future, AI is likely to be used to control even more aspects of the car, such as the navigation system and the infotainment system.

These are just a few of the changes that I expect to see in the automotive industry over the next 10 years. I believe that the future of the car is bright, and I'm excited to see what the future holds.
