This train has been on the tracks for a while.

For example, one of the players in the space has been Fair. Here is a link to a related article:

The tech is advancing rapidly-- kind of exponentially actually, and social change is also happening very fast. Along with other factors, this confluence is likely to result in a quite different-looking auto industry pretty quickly as we head toward the end of this quarter century. And not just the auto industry per-se, but for example adjacent areas like auto insurance. Many of the existing companies are already planning for a very different future... quite a few of them have active advanced business/technology, innovation, and/or venture capital people here in Silicon Valley.

I am a bit plugged in to this massive set of changes on the biz side... opportunities abound.

The current Pandemic and after-effects that are likely to result may be considered by some as accelerating some of these changes.

Again opportunities is some existing, emerging and new areas, and threats (sometimes existential) in others.
