The article forgot to mention that AI may make all knowledge workers redundant!!!

So if some technology that is 'on the cusp' comes to fruition and people adapt it widely and their purchasing patterns change drastically then the 'big 3' - that used to be the 'big 5', but which have been failing to meet consumer desires - may need to adapt.

I'm waiting with baited breath.

Who were the big five?

Big three: Ford, GM, Chrystler right?
Big five: Big Three + AMC + ??

But in recent years; Toyoda, Volkswagon, and Hyundai all make more cars than any of those American manufacturers.

Well, except for GM. Its still number two in the world according to that article. At times its traded the Number one position with Toyota.
