Peak New Car in the USA Was 1978

Autoline describes the problem of Peak Auto. New car sales have hit their peak in the U.S., Europe and Japan. Despite strong population growth in the U.S., new car sales are the same as they were a quarter of a century ago. Here’s why.

US overall car sales have dropped from 2000 to today despite US population increasing by nearly 20%.


Global new car sales peaked in 2017.

Historically, it took 25 weeks of household income to buy a new car. US household income is $75000, so 25 weeks of income can afford $36,000 of car. The average new car price is $48000.

Quantum Binds: Pomerons in the Proton Do Not Destroy Maximal Entanglement

Scientists have demonstrated that protons are maximally entangled at a quantum level in collisions with high-energy photons, extending these findings to include pomeron-involved scenarios. Credit: SciTechDaily.comWhen a high-energy photon strikes a proton, secondary particles diverge in a way that indicates that the inside of the proton is maximally entangled.
