They won't have to stop for the same reasons.

  Even with a robot driving you're going to need gas / electricity and food every 4 hours.

    Carry your own food and enough batteries to last to the destination. Or have a hot swap battery bot like a military jet re-fueler. No stopping at all! In all seriousness, I'm not saying there won't be stop offs and rest stops (because really, who wants to be in a moving box for 3 days), but in terms of feasibility I can definitely theorize a situation where stopping is no longer necessary. I just finished a road trip and man, would an auto-RV have been amazing. Instead of only catching ~50% of the view because I was the driver, I could take it all in and interact with my lady at the same time vs focused on driving. Growing up I thought RVs were crazy awful - but now I look forward to my auto-RV at age 75 driving my old ass around the country.

  Well… re-fueling (although that could be electric soon), eating and pissing every four hours. Sounds fairly similar to me. What differences did you have in mind? More scenic routes and less Pirelli calendar? More batteries for hearing-aids, and less not-necessarily legal ‘pick-me up’?
