Spaces... the final frontier

-

READ an interestin­g article this week about the inevitabil­ity of autonomous cars in the next five to 20 years.

Personally, I think it’ll take 20 years.

The piece threw up the issue of parking prices and asked the question: Why park when it’s cheaper to drive?

The author painted the picture of driverless cars just chugging around at a snail’s pace on their own to avoid having to pay expensive parking fees. Hmmm.

Based on that idea, I see a rosy future for countrysid­e pubs where sozzled diners will be able to punch in their postcode and be driven safely home by their fully autonomous cars.

Not good for the taxi industry, though.
