When things are optional the chances of external factors influencing auto are higher.
NCap in europe is coming and will be the forerunner to worldwide Ncap requirements for 5 stars.
EU legislation is progressing and will cement the auto requirments for DMS.
Brexit, OEMs changing models, worldwide downturns, mergers, acquisitions and so on will/may vary OEM production targets each year by percentages of their overall output.
Main car players will continue to produce in millions. They will have to have DMS for safety (and convenience). It is happening!
OEMs are getting hammered for emissions scandals, getting fined many millions. They are still in business.
Political issues in my opinion have less effect than we think. OEMs can move production wherever it suits them. DMS will be integral no matter where cars are made. We are moving closer to #DMSDAY
