> They were a clever idea at the time, but they're hardly "lounges" these days. They're just buses, at a time when you really, really don't want to be taking a bus.

Yeah they're definitely just buses that can open on each end at this point. They aspired to be lounges and they kind of convey (ha) what could have been. An actual automated mobile lounge isn't that crazy, right? Automation+batter power does make it more appealing.

You don't really want to be in a lounge at all after getting off, you just want to get where you're going. That's why most airports have lounges in departures but not in arrivals. A lounge that you could wait in until boarding time and have it pull up to your plane then might be nice, but with today's "security" procedures you'd need to have all of that built into the mobile section as well, which seems difficult.
