Why do we even need to get into any transportation system, why not work remotely 90% of the time?

Why don't we work remotely 90% of the time already?

There are deep seated biological and cultural reasons why current technologies don't replace physical proximity.

Some of the more important ones, such as networking, remote technologies can't even try to address. It's terrible for job seeking, lateral career changes and building connections.

Maybe VR/AR offices are the future. Certainly they'd present less legislative and social hurdles than self-driving cars.
