Comment on Automated Cars Will Redefine "Home" – Driverless Cars (Part 4/6)parent

Comments

I think for most people this will be true, but with an truly autonomous car, it would be possible to construct a sort of "capsule hotel" on wheels. For a certain class of people that is an attractive value proposition.

A mobile home is a sort of capsule hotel on wheel - and you can own one right now. Why does the driver-less part change the value proposition so much?

Precisely. Lugging around all the amenities from the article has a huge fuel cost, and they don't compare to the quality of their stationary counterparts.

I feel like the OP article's "futurist" has a decent grasp on HOW, but completely disregards WHY.
