Each time I see a mention of commuting, I'm reminded of a possible (perhaps likely or inevitable) interaction between commute tolerance and self driving cars. Self driving cars may increase commute tolerance substantially, by 50% or 100%; And make ultra-long commutes more feasible for those who don't live a long narrow train court orders. A couple of decades from now, it's quite possible that a 2+ hour commute will be routine and normal, rather than worth of a special word "super-commuter", for people working in the largest employment centers. (Which sounds extremely unpleasant to me, by the way.)
