Many real people can do things and drive cars at the same time, Although it is mostly illegal, while computers, prolly just can’t drive cars at all.

Could make for even more sprawl. Consider that if you subscribed to a service for self driving cars to take you to and from work, you might be more inclined to live further from work since you'd now be able to do what you want while riding. Maybe I live 2 hours from my job, well that's not as huge of a deal if I'm not driving, I can nap on the way to work, and on the way home I can unwind, catch up on the news, or maybe even continue working.

Also, these cars will eventually have black out windows.

when I was young. I assume that sort of hanky-panky will continue apace, driverless cars or not.

Maybe no front seat? But if something goes wrong with the programming what do they do?

This country is on the road to hell.

Never ever has anyone ever been able to have sex in a car. Right?

I mean, it just couldn't have happened in the Sixties with those big old behemoth cars.

That was just a fantasy I had back in High School, it didn't really happen! Nope, not at all.

This will lead to an increase in demand for self-driving vehicles.

The cycle will continue out of control.

When can we have sex in rocket ships on their way to the Mars colony?
