When (if?) auto-driven cars become a thing I'd expect some people will want a giant monitor in their car if nothing else, so they can watch movies, play video games, tele-conference, etc....

Disney's "The Magic Highway" might be dystopian to some but the relaxing vehicle seems pretty cool to me

Impressive. Funny that one thing they got wrong is cars becoming smaller instead of bigger.

If you could get 5 self-driving single seaters instead of one 5-seater for the same price... probably the 5-seater wins.

But if you can call a reliable self-driving one-seater within 5 minutes guaranteed?

Just a monitor? I'm putting in a lazyboy and full on home theater setup in the back of my self driving car, well self driving van.
