fingsWaiting for the bus this morning, I watched a few cars go by, and my mind drifted to the self-driving cars in the news, including the recent no-steering-wheel google car. And it hit me what the killer app for self-driving cars is going to be. Sex.
In the present day, the driver has to drive, and a passenger can read, look out the window, or even watch something these days. The two can talk, but sex-while-driving is not a good idea. It is the kind of thing that ends up in cautionary tales of necks snapped by steering wheels and penises being severed by teeth.
Wealthier people today can have limousines with discrete chauffeurs and blackout partitions. But put a robotic chauffeur in a car with dark tinted windows, and suddenly any couple can spend their trip time fooling around.
