I like this line:

During the testing, the autonomous cars were involved in only one accident. And, in that case, the Google Carbot was rear-ended by a human driver while stopped at a red light.

Google would then have a whole new market for adSense, wouldn't they? Arrive at your destination, head filled with the sudden urge to buy ShamWows or all the touristy places at your destination pad!

Next thing you're going to want transporters with the take off ten pounds of fat in transit option.

They'll be available before the "excise malignant tumor in transit" option, too.

And you could get in the thing right out of bed, and arrive at your destination all clean and spiffy, wearing nice clean Advertising emblazoned clothes.

You just wait. Soon your Robocars will automatically drive people to work... who then use that transit time to burn some calories on an exercise bike that is built-in.

They'll never see the irony... but they will stay fit!
