There are already people who live in their vans anyway, if they didn't even need to drive them anymore perhaps areas with overzealous zoning laws that circumvent supply & demand would see an influx of small moving apartments instead.
It would be like a land yacht, and economically sound so long as the price of gas is lower than the price of rent.
- theossuary 4y agoThis is my plan. As soon as self driving tech is available I'm putting it in a school busy mini-house. Punch in any destination and then live my life while I head there. It'll basically be teleportation in my lifetime.
- elif 4y agoWhat you describe is basically how my wife and I treat the model Y on road trips, except we speak the destination instead of punch it in. But you'll still want to wear a seatbelt because although self driving cars don't tend to cause accidents, they very much are the victim of them. And consider the electricity demand of keeping your big skooli heated and cooled compared to that of a small and tight modern vehicle, you'll likely be forced into charging last thing every night and first thing every morning while on the road, while for us it is about 25% of battery on the worst nights so we can camp anywhere.
