A car can go pretty much anywhere, public transportation not so much. If you can sleep in a self driving car then logistically much more of the world will be accessible to you. Hit a button, go to sleep, wake up wherever you want. To me this would be much more exciting than cheaper taxies.
- semi-extrinsic 7y agoExcept sleeping in a car (or a bus, train, airplane) is really really uncomfortable. But cars more than the rest, since you are much more restrained due to seat belts.
- valine 7y agoThat’s because cars are not designed to be slept in. Inflatable mattress and a seatbelt/harness designed to be worn lying down and the problem is solved.
- falcor84 7y agoExactly. And perhaps it's even that once autonomous cars have proven themselves enough, you wouldn't even need a seatbelt for a regular ride. The car might just beep once every few hours to ask you to buckle up on particularly dangerous sections, like on an airplane.
