5:30 am
and possibility of this collection as a singular museum like none other that's ever been created. now, that would be one exquisite exhibit. hi, everyone welcome to "on the mon." i'm contessa brewer, in for becky quick. a stomach-turning week for stocks ready to get behind the wheel of your new car wait, the next step beyond self-driving is coming soon. no accelerator, brakes, steering wheel, no problem. finding love with what you hate the new app. and what on earth is chocolate pizza. one young man's amazing success story. "on the money" starts right now.
5:31 am
this is "on the money. your money, your life, your future we begin with a peek into the future it's arriving sooner than you think. new cars that will have you in the driver's seat. you won't be doing any of the braking or accelerating because you can't. that's because these cars don't have steering wheels or pedals we have the cover story turning point. >> reporter: this is the future according to general motors. a self-driving car without a steering wheel and pedals. driving around cities. >> there will be an adoption curve. there will be time for people to get used to the idea everything we're doing is all about safety we want people to feel comfortable with the technology from the outset. >> reporter: gm is asking the federal government the waive vehicle rules that have been in place for decades. so it can put self-driving cars on the roads without steering
5:32 am
wheels and other controls. back to the days of henry ford, steering wheels and gas pedals have been at the heart of every car and truck. gm and other auto makers believe there is though need for a steering wheel if there is no driver >> we see them deployed in a ride-share environment we're aiming to have maximum space available inside the vehicle. as passengers. as customers is a benefit of what we're doing >> reporter: other companies like waymo are developing self-driving cars without steering wheels. late last year, an autonomous drive shuttle without a driver hit the strip in vegas and was almost immediately hit by another vehicle. it raises the question, will the public feel comfortable in a car if there's no way to take over steering in an emergency >> sounds very dangerous >> i would feel safe >> i would prefer an option to
5:33 am
take control of the vehicle and remove it from automation. but i think, hopefully, the company put the time and effort and tried to protect the users >> reporter: gm's steering wheel-fwree car has an emergency button riders can press if they want to stop the car immediately. otherwise, gm says these self-driving chevy volts will nowhere to go. without a driver or a steering wheel. >> will we all be passengers in the car of the future? rebaek ka is an executive analyst at kelley blue book. thank you for joining us the first time you pull up to a stoplight and look over and see a car that doesn't have a driver, it will be a shock to the system when will we start seeing these cars >> we're seeing them in certain locations, contessa. it will be awhile before they really overtake the industry and it's interesting that you
5:34 am
use that example i'll often tell people when you get to a four-way stop that is a very social experience you all get there at the same time you have to look at each other the car won't be able to do that there's been instances where, on a test track, everyone stops and nobody can go because nobody knows who go next. so, there's small things that we still have to overcome but, i think it's going to be quite a few years before we see these really deployed widespread cross the country. >> and the federal government still has to approve a car without a steering wheel >> yes >> how do the manufacturers go forward and demonstrate to the federal government and to us as customers that they can satisfy those safety requirements? >> one of the things that is very important is that the government is a partner in the development of these -- this technology as you say, the regulations.
5:35 am
i don't want regulations to stymie the creativity and development. we have to have a fluid marketplace here in order no come up with new solutions for those things like what do you do at a four-way stop the socialization of driving the more we can cooperate with the government and the more the government is a partner in the expansion, the better off everyone will be and the faster we'll get to adoption of some of the safe technologies >> phil mentioned in the story they're being designed for ride-sharing services like uber and lyft are we going to see customers buying driverless cars to have >> this is all part of the question mark we still have. what does that look like is the what was ownership look like in the puch the youngest generation, generation "z" sometimes it's
5:36 am
called, those people born after 2003, they'll be the most comfortable of this concept of ride-sharing of not having a steering wheel of just getting into a pod >> what about insurance? it's a big thing that comes into play phil mentioned the demonstration in las vegas and the car immediately gets hit where will insurance rates come down on this >> the insurance companies, on the one hand, some are salivating especially the attorneys and on the other hand, they're saying we're never going to inhur that that will never happen there's all these barriers to actually deploying these types of vehicles. now, you know, gm has ride-sharing they have ride-hailing in maven. they have an interest in lyft. we're working through some of these issues and challenges and obstacles. it is still very, very complicated. >> i will say. i have a brand-new 2018 car that has safety features i have never
5:37 am
owned in a car it's already saved me from a fender bender with the alerts and all of that. we're already heading the way where the car does know more than me, i hate to admit it. rebecca, thank you for joining us >> right thank you. >> up next, we're "on the money. after a whiplash-inducing week in the stock market, what should you do with your retirement money? if your nerves are frazzled, you're not alone and later, finding love through hate how this went from a bit in a comedy routine to an app with more than a million downloads. now, take a look at how the stock market ended the week.
5:40 am
stomach, if you have money in this stock market, this was an interesting week the dow had its worst one-day point drop ever on monday. as a percentage, nowhere near a record and volatility returned to stock after one of the quietest years on record. stocks bounced back tuesday. then continued on the roller coaster ride the rest of the week tumbling more than 1,000 points again on thursday. the s&p 500 followed along falling nearly 3% thursday the nasdaq had its worst day on thursday since june of 2016. the moves, in part, based on concerns about rising interest rates and the return of inflation. america's services sector is doing just fine. the ism nonmanufacturing index hit a 12-year high in january, pushed by an increase in new orders and capital spending. this is the latest sign of a strengthening economy at the start of the year.
5:41 am
amazon's whole foods will test a new grocery delivery service in four cities it begins if austin, cincinnati, dallas, and virginia beach it's available to prime members and guarantees free, two-hour delivery for orders of more than $35. this was the wild roller coaster week for stocks. the steep dives have rattled nerves and shaken safe vers >> i'm stressed. but time son our side. >> the market's gone straight up i don't think it's unusual to have a pullback. you have to invest for the long term >> i'll still contribute there's waxes and wanes. we'll have to wait it out. >> this is kind of the first down if awhile hopefully, it will pick up i'm really not worried yet >> david kelly is j.p. morgan asset management chief global strategist david, good to talk to you this morning. >> glad to be here >> we just heard from people
5:42 am
concerned by the market swings what is your best advice after a wild week? >> think you can do an fvp test. fundamenta fundamentals, valuations, anlds positi positioning. the first thing you ask is, how have the fundamentals changed? they vhaven't. interest rates are slowly moving up it's just a healthy economy. valuations the stock market is a little bit more ek pensive than average bonds are push more expensive than average u.s. stocks still look a little bit cheap relative to u.s. bonds. and the real question is positioning. nice to hear people think about their own portfolios swings will occur. are you positioned correctly for the long run >> should you have less money depending on age more money in bonds? how do you guide people about how to distribute that
5:43 am
>> well, generally speaking, as you get older, you should try to be a little safer. it's a little by trickier today. interest rates are so low. the bond rate is not as safe as it used to be. be a little bit overweight on stocks than bonds. have a little bit in short duration things close to cash to act as ball lasts the other thing is, invest around the world the u.s. stock markets had a very long run. the international stock markets are doing better i think it's a lot of opportunity if overseas equities people should take advantage of that >> a lot of expert investors are looking at volatility. nay have special indices >> i don't think it will be that long volatility is normal it's not normally distributed. it's either very high or very low. we have switched on to a very high regime. it could last a few days, a few
5:44 am
weeks. once the market calms down or settles down in fact, probably settles up to higher levels, i think volatility will come back down we have relative stable long-term interest rates there is not much opportunity in other asset classes outside of stocks that's made volatility low to this point you'll have technical issues from time to time. in the long run, i think volatility will be lower >> you're seeing the stock market landing 10% off of its highing, or the volatility, do you recommend going in if the midst of all of it and sarks how should i balance my long-term retirement savings plan? >> it's a good time to take a look am i positioned the way i want to be positioned i urge people not make impulsive moves here
5:45 am
the main problem is a lot of investors don't have enough international equities if you go back the last 35, 40 years, a 14% correction in a year is normal >> david kelly, thank you so much for adding perspective and insight. >> any time. up next, we're "on the money. cargo shorts hate 'em daylight savings time? the worst. the new app that matches people based on the topics they hate. and later, pizza just got a little sweeter the pie your valentine might crave this year. ead more. how do they find the time? with audible. audible has the world's largest selection of audiobooks. books like peak performance... and endurance. books that energize and inspire for just $14.95 a month. less than you'd pay for the hardcover.
