The rise of ridesharing and the imminent arrival of self-driving cars is causing homeowners and builders to rethink a perennial fixture of the Australian suburban home – the double garage.
A recent study predicted the autonomous vehicle market would be worth $552 billion by 2026, growing at an average pace of 39.5 per cent per year between 2019 and 2026.
While many Australians are still choosing to build homes with double garages, builders like Rivergum Homes are planning for the future.
Rivergum Homes design director John Eckert said builders were rethinking designs to suit the needs of today’s and tomorrow’s families.
