If vehicles will eventually become totally autonomous,there is no need for all that bulky sheet metal surrounding the occupant.Collisions will never happen,so the vehicles can be light weight,and designed for the individual occupant.No need to tell it where to go, a thought will suffice.Vehicles will be charged on-the-fly with embedded transformers in the roadway,and possibly capacitor powered,since range would be no problem.It will require massive infrastructure changes and construction,as well as an immense amount of electrical generating capacity,possibly fusion from H3,mined from the moon.We old timers will pass away into the distant past,and the newer generations will never know the thrill of connecting with the road through a great shifting gearbox and a high revving engine and a taking a curvy road,riding on the edge of control around every turn.Our current transportation methods will seem as archaic to them as riding a camel or elephant today.Every generation gains something and loses something in the process.

We may be the last to experience the adrenaline surge of a car well designed and well driven.
