If people hate driving so much that having the car drive itself is thought to be appealing, why don't they make any effort to live close to the stuff they do?

Re: aero and lift: bad idea, read up about it, plenty of sources of info out there already.

Back in the '60s and '70s there was a portion of the market that thought due to the KNOWLEDGE that cheap oil was on it's way out, that minis and micros would be "the next big thing". So then the masses decided that driving huge V8 4x4 cubes was where it's at. Contrarians. I guess that means future vehicles will become even bigger, more powerful, and more square... maybe Winnebagos will be the family car/commuter car of the future.
