Once self driving cars are a thing, won't the design change? No need for a driver's seat, no need to put in a gear stick or parking break partition.
If I own my own self driving car, rather than summoning one, I think you'll see a big shift in designs because it will be your or your family's space.
- drdeadringer 9y agoI recently finished watching the anime "Legend of Galactic Heroes". In an early episode, a character summons a roaming [empty] driverless hover-car taxi [hailed with a transmitting credit-card-sized hailing device no less] to help an injured compatriot on his way. Watching the scene was surreal; when it first aired no doubt it was totally SF, but now it's actually within the grasp of reality. The entire vehicle's interior was, basically, Limo seating. No room for any driver at all. The car lands, they get in and close the doors, and the car takes off all 5th Element but driverless to their destination -- one character laid out injured, the other consoling and helping whilst sitting upright. I just have to believe that interior configurations are going to change similar to this.
