A market that keeps coming back to me, don't laugh, is self driving RVs. A family of four could go to sleep in Chicago and wake up in Memphis. Spend the day tooling around Memphis, then hit the hay and wake up the next day in Miami.
No hotel costs, food costs could be the same as eating at home, no air fare or air travel hassle.
I suppose you'd have to wake up in the middle of the night to re-fuel, but hey, grab a midnight snack while you're at it.
It'd be the cheapest and safest way to tour a large area.

- Houshalter 13y agoThat's interesting, but by far the largest market is trucks, taxis, and delivery. I don't know why everyone is focusing on consumers when it's basically just a convenience.

- gregpilling 13y agoAnd the people who can afford a $500,000 diesel pusher RV can afford the self driving option. Who wants to park a 40' RV anyway? I am sure they would much rather check the $5000 (or even $10,000) dollar option.
