Last week, I got an e-mail from Subaru telling me my windshield washer fluid was low (it was). The e-mail provided information on how to refill it, and, a link to make an appointment for service if I felt something else needed attention. If, instead, my brake pads were worn and the car were fully autonomous, I could have scheduled it for service while I am at work and it could have driven itself in, got new brakes and driven itself back to my office. No loaner car, no time off from work, no hassle waiting in line for a service adviser, .... File under the 'productivity' column, and I expect cars will be better maintained than now, since we procrastinators will be able to simply click a link and forget about it.
