At GC Automotive & Performance in Jamesburg & Marlboro Township, cars are our passion, so naturally, we like to keep up with new technology on the market. At the moment, surprisingly the current trend is moving towards a goal you may not expect; self-driving vehicles. You’ve probably heard about self-driving cars a little bit here and there on the news, but it likely still seems somewhere in the realm of science fiction to you. However, the reality is that self-driving cars are on the way and maybe here sooner than you think. Already, almost all major automobile manufacturers are dumping billions of dollars into research and development for self-driving cars, and even companies like Uber are jumping on board. 

What this says to us, is that self-driving cars are not just some gimmick. When the first automobiles hit the road, people laughed at the idea of them someday becoming a viable source of transportation, much less reshaping the entire global community. Nevertheless, just around two decades after the first automobile hit the streets, Ford’s Model T became widely available to the general public, and the rest is history. It seems likely that we’re facing a similar situation in the present. The automobile, for all its modern bells and whistles, has not fundamentally changed since it was invented over a century ago. Self-driving cars will likely redefine the transportation industry as we know and understand it...and it’s less a question of if, but when it will happen.

Don’t sell your car just yet, however. Self-driving cars won’t become widely available for at least several years. Until that day comes, count on GC Automotive & Performance in Jamesburg & Marlboro Township for all your repair and maintenance needs. And if you do ever find yourself behind the wheel (or screen...or whatever) of a self-driving car, we’ll be here to maintain and repair that too. No matter what kind of car, truck, or SUV you own, self-driving or otherwise, our expert mechanics at GC Automotive & Performance have you covered. Call or drop by today.
