Some things won’t change

In My Week In Cars (Autocar, 5 July), Steve Cropley wrote that he’d heard no good answer to the “killer questions” of whether people will care about the performance or brand of their driverless car in the future.

I believe we will continue to care about both. Comfort may take precedence over driver appeal for most buyers. Premium brands will continue to court well-heeled buyers through upscale design and superior ride quality.

And assuming we are still allowed manual control at times, the desirability of a Maserati over a Mazda will persist. Put simply, we’ll still want to have nice things. Via email
