She argues that because self-driving cars can drive other people rather than sitting in people's driveways and garages, the United States will need to produce fewer cars. She argues that growth will slow because we are producing a decreasing number of cars each year. Do you agree? Why or why not? Producing fewer cars, everything else equal, will economic growth. However, the resources no longer used to produce cars be used to produce other items. Furthermore, the self-driving cars could opportunities for new businesses, which would have the effect. Therefore, the ultimate impact self-driving cars would have on economic growth isarrow_forward
