"This is a really exciting time to be involved in fleet. Everything is changing so quickly. I’ve been involved with NAFA for 25 years, and I don’t recall a time when the industry saw the types of changes we’re talking about today...In just a few years, a 'Ride and Drive' event may be just a 'ride' event as autonomous vehicles gain more and more use and acceptance.
