Phil and Stephen continue their review of Thomas Frey’s 72 stunning things in the future that will be common ten years from now that don’t exist today -- this time adding their own analysis and scenarios for self-driving cars
Queuing stations for driverless cars as a replacement for a dwindling number of parking lots.
Crash-proof cars. Volvo already says their cars will be crash-proof before 2020.
Driverless car hailing apps. Much like signaling Uber and Lyft, only without the drivers.
Large fleet ownership of driverless cars (some companies will own millions of driverless cars).
Electric cars will routinely win major races like the Daytona 500, Monaco Grand Prix, and the Indy 500.
In-car work and entertainment systems to keep people busy and entertained as a driverless car takes them to their destination.
In-car advertising. This will be a delicate balance between offsetting the cost of operation and being too annoying for the passengers.
Electric car charging in less than 5 minutes.
Phil adds: Sleeper cars -- a real threat to airlines?
