This technology is real and is coming not only to TV, but is being heavily tested by the trucking industry for Over the Road transportation. Think of the cost reductions for that industry. It IS coming. Think of your own situation and evaluate the true need of actually having to own a car; especially for year-round residents. Think of the HUGE cost savings of not having to own and maintain a car. While this isn't an option for everyone, it is something to think about. Most of our cars sit idle 90% of the time parked in our garage, at the store, at the doctor. You could summon a car only when you need it! This is going to have enormous implications for auto manufacturers, etc. The next 5 years is going to be fascinating.
