Well, phones are no longer just phones, so cars will soon no longer be just cars. They will be entertainment center cocoons to isolate you from the world outside, to babysit your kids, to hold your pets, all while you do other things. Some see fun, cool, the experience. I see expense and complication. My two daughters don't even think about cars or express any interest in getting one. I think they see them as a hassle to own. They use uber, borrow our hand-me downs when home on vacation from school, or hitch rides from others. It will be interesting to see if they ever buy one.
With your phone you can monitor your hi-fi stereo system @ home...some of them.
You can check for bandits who want to steal your record's collection.
If EV cars can do all of that and more for you...I see no better way than to go EV all the way.
For the days you want to break free you just go sailing ...
If ever I meet you Peter it has to be on your sail boat...and sailing with you the surface of the sea, free, without phone and reproduced music...just the sounds of the razor cutting water under the hull, with the keel, and the winds in the sail.
* Your two daughters are smart, very. They love sailing too?
