Self-driving cars of the future don't need to look / be shaped like a conventional car. Not all of them at least.
The ones designed for slow night travel don't need to be air efficient, they could be shaped like a big square with almost real beds (like on a train).
- semi-extrinsic 10y agoThat would be hilariously unsafe in case of a crash. Look, we already have big square cars with beds in them, called RVs, and it's illegal and highly unsafe to sleep in those beds while driving. It doesn't matter how slow and safe the autonomous car is, as long as it's traveling on the same roads as other cars, some of which are fast and driven by humans, crash safety is very much an issue.
