ARTICLE: SELF DRIVING CARS
Taken from article based around Self-Driving Cars.

"Ford's Callum sees the possibility of interior design returning to the era of stylized Renaissance horse-drawn coaches. But a big factor in the aspirational vs. appliance question is whether autonomous cars will allow for a sense of "arrival" at a destination.
"If it's a bespoke infrastructure just for autonomous vehicles, then you just have an appliance, because you won't be 'arriving' anywhere. It will just be regimented," Callum says.
"But how cool would it be to arrive at the door of a restaurant, step out and be able to tell the car to go away? There is an element of theater there.""https://soundcloud.com/automotive-news/self-driving-dreams
