Driverless Hotel Rooms: The End of Uber, Airbnb and Human Landlords

The reality of on-demand self-driving cars poses a looming existential risk to the auto industry. With billions of vehicles on the planet and over 94 million new cars rolling off the production lines each year, cars consume vast resources to sell, which we then park idle for 95% of the time. 

But, if on-demand driverless vehicles come to fruition and it becomes cheaper than your Uber ride, the appeal of owning a car will diminish, creating a massive oversupply of unwanted human-driven vehicles. 

Driverless cars redefine all of our assumptions. Driverless vehicles are simply rooms on top of an all-electric drivetrain. This opens endless possibilities to re-imagine vehicles as moving rooms able to cater to a vast array of human experiences and activities: 

• the driverless office 
• the driverless boardroom 
• the driverless gym 
• the driverless bedroom 
• the driverless bathroom 
• the driverless cafe 
• the driverless cinema 
• the driverless shop 

These rooms can be dynamic, modular and interconnected.
