I'm not so sure about the "virtual reality goggles" idea, but inventoryless dealerships seems like a no-brainer. If I want to buy a Cadillac, I want to test-drive the same model, then pick the options and colours I want, and

Or is this a good thing? I mean, I know it's de rigeur in journalistic circles to assume that any new trend must be a terrible one, but... if people are happy, and able to find jobs, without needing to move, this is a pretty good thing
