Is this Real ? SMMT Car chiefs warn a no-deal border (if it happens) delay will cost the UK £70m a day - Dave
The trade body's 2019 UK Automotive Trade Report calculates that delays to production caused by an end to frictionless trade could add up to £50,000 a minute – amounting to £70million-a-day in a worst-case scenario. Combined with World Trade Organisation tariff amounting to £4.5billion-a-year for trade in passenger cars alone, the SMMT said this would deliver a 'knockout blow to the sector's competitiveness, undermining a decade of extraordinary growth'.

Gloucester : “I'm firmly of the belief that when cars become fully autonomous, no one will actually own a car at all. You'll just summon one like a taxi. Why would you want/need to own one 24 hours a day and only use it 1 hour? You'll just say to Alexa, Google, Siri "Please arrange a car for 9.15am" and it will arrive in your drive at that time... Except of course you won't really need a drive either!!!”
Sorry I'm not sure how to help with that...

It would be nice if there was some more positive information for the Car Industry and its workers in the UK, it seems the Negatives are getting worse. What I never realised is that the UK exports 57% of its production to the EU ! - Dave
