Living in a popular rural area with a lot of seasonal tourists ... I see the future of self driving cars as mobile homes and hotels. Sort of like a mobile air-b-and-b. A lot of my friends chase wind, waves and events around the area. So they pack up a caravan or home made camper van and drive to the location and party and surf. There is a crowd of 20 or so who share van space and give lifts. I can only see this getting more popular. They already rent vans out. When these become custom self driving surf wagons complete with shower kitchen etc people will live on the move. Travelling at night while the passengers sleep.

Truck stops already have showers - they will need new users for them as there are no longer truck drivers. I've long wanted this, travel for 10 hours at night while I'm asleep, check out a historical museum in middle of nowhere Kansas, drive an hour, have lunch, and check out some county park (again in the middle of nowhere), then have supper, drive a bit and watch the sunset over some historical marker and the process repeats until I'm at Grandma's house. Much better than the current plan of watching cotton fields go by.
