Transcript:

Picture this: it’s 2035. You haven’t owned a car in three years. A self-driving pod arrives whenever you tap your phone. That two-car garage? It’s now transformed into a yoga studio, a home theater, or a home gym.

We’ve been dedicating our best square footage to vehicles that sit idle 95% of the time. As personal vehicle ownership declines, every homeowner gains access to a bonus room — art studios, small businesses, or whatever you’ve been dreaming of.

The future isn’t just about driverless technology. It’s garageless — and your home just became significantly larger.

How do you plan to transform your home in the future?

Due to tech bros being happy to sacrifice safety for their progress and stock prices. Musk mainly. However,.the technology will mature. It's inevitable at this point.

I've just travelled interstate to see the in laws for Easter. We flew so as not to lose a day. It would be great if those pods in the future came in the evening and we just slept our way to their place with electric vehicles.

Using the roads that already exist with automated vehicles 24hrs would reduce traffic and delivery times etc. It is just a matter of ensuring that companies like Amazon are not the only game in town and the infrastructure is open and usable by all.

You mean like a train?
