I heard a majority of Fortune 500 companies were in talks with Sky Net to develop fully automated corporations run by cyber-robots. Heaven only knows what will happen if this system becomes self aware. It could be apocolyptic.
Automated autos will also reduce the need for limo and taxi service as well as pay for parking at airports.
Your car drops you of and then returns home. Automated cars may also reduce the need for multiple cars in a family. Unintended consequences of automation. Remember when tech promised full employment and more leisure time? I do. What lie that was.
