In 2020, most companies were forced to drastically alter their person-to-person business approach due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

More people were working from home than ever before. Business meetings were conducted via Zoom. Seminars made way for webinars.
Replica Cars: NHTSA completed a regulation allowing low-volume
motor vehicle manufacturers to begin selling replica cars that
resemble vehicles produced at least 25 years ago—from ’30s
roadsters to ’60s musclecars and more. SEMA worked with Congress
to enact the 2015 law, which permits each company to produce up to
325 replicas a year for the U.S. market. The law removed regulatory
barriers that previously prevented construction. While enthusiasts will
now have a chance to purchase a turnkey replica car, they will still
have the option to build a car from a kit. The program does not take
effect until the NHTSA rule has been officially published in the
Federal Register, which was delayed due to the presidential transition
but is expected to occur within weeks as of this writing.
