I am driving A96 everyday to work. It's a waisted hour.

I would like to do the following:

- tell the car to drive to work

- actually autonomously drive on the HW, while I work ( I have 5Gb included on my LTE VF abo so I can do all my work remotely)

- keep all the speed limits ( I am personally driving like crazy, in order to minimize the driving time )

- drop me on the curbside

- go find a parking place :)

After work: - calling my car to pick me up

- drive home, autonomously, while I slack on the internet or sleep

- wake me up when entering the garage.

at this moment I can hire with 450 euro a month a chauffeur that does all that. But I would buy in a second a car with such a possibility.

Would you still want to own your personal car when cars can do all that?

I think what you describe is the future but we'll be renting luxury vehicles from Uber (or equivalent) for very little money.

And the step after that, printing and unprinting the car itself, no need for parking or garage anymore.
I'm sorry to tell you that, but maybe you should think about remote work? If you can work on the road, why not stay at home completely?

Sure, doesn't work for everbody and every job, but if more companies would allow remote, work many people would live better lifes! :)
