Autonomous cars will do more than drive you around

I can imagine cars that choose routes that are “optimized” for partners of the manufacturer. Considering a new big screen TV? Well, let’s make sure you pass by Best Buy on your way home everyday until you do. Dinner time? Why not drive right past the Carl’s Jr. drive through?

The opportunities for advertising are amazing, since you can place the consumer RIGHT at the locations they’re most likely to make an impulse purchase.

Who’d opt into something like that? lol. Most of America.

Not mentioned in the article. I can imagine using my self driving car as a new mobile work office with a great view for calls and coding.

That’s something I love about trains too, just coding away as awesome scenery moves along outside the window.
