I read an article (here?) the other day that suggested cars as we know them will disappear once they are self-driving. After all, why sit in an unnatural position when you can sleep, watch TV, basically have a man- (or woman-) cave on wheels. Why worry about your commute when you can just get in your vehicle, pull up the covers and just sleep until you get to work, then change (and shower?) in your vehicle.

The author suggested that people are going to have self-driving Winnebagos and live maybe hours from work.

But the “car” as we know it is probably going to disappear in our lifetimes.

I firmly agree, and it had a good run. I LOVE driving my FR-S 75 miles every morning, and again every evening, from and to my office via the twisties of rural KY, but all good things must come to an end.

I think movies like Minority Report, Demolition Man and I Robot have their thumb on the pulse of the future, regarding self driving cars.
