The Next 5 Years: Policy, Safety, and the Future of Dealer-Led Market Growth

As low-speed vehicles continue to expand into on-road and mixed-use environments, the next phase of industry growth will be shaped by a critical intersection: public policy, real-world safety outcomes, and dealer operating practices.

Most dealers are reacting to policy and safety issues after they show up. The next wave of winners will get ahead of them.

This session provides a concise, field-informed briefing on emerging legislative trends, recent incident patterns, and how both are influencing local access, consumer perception, and liability exposure. Drawing on national-level insights and dealer engagement across multiple markets, attendees will gain clarity on where risks are increasing and where opportunities are expanding.

More importantly, this session translates these trends into practical actions dealers can take today to protect their business, support responsible usage, and position themselves for sustainable growth.

Attendees will leave with a clear understanding of:
    •    The policy and regulatory shifts most likely to impact their market
    •    The top safety-related factors driving incidents and restrictions
    •    Specific dealer-led actions that improve outcomes and enable growth

This is not theory. It is a practical, forward-looking briefing for dealers who want to stay ahead of both risk and opportunity.
