This  includes restaurants and bars that serve these. The vehicle itself is the designated driver, and we all have a designated river all the time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And there are some medicines that say, \u201cDo not drive after taking this.\u201d Okay, I won\u2019t.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And let\u2019s toss in the doctors who perform procedures on us. \u201cYou will need someone to drive you home afterwards.\u201d Simple.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sex and pornography. The porn industry always benefits from new technologies that enable entertainment. And since we aren\u2019t paying attention to driving, we are available for entertainment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Content creators. The pornography one extends to this. Like to read books (paper and electronic)? Read all you want because you aren\u2019t driving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Hotel and Motels. Since we can do all sorts of things while driving, we will take more road trips and stay in more motels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I see the best benefit is that those who cannot drive due to physical and mental issues will have access to transportation. Those persons, however, are in a small minority when compared to the persons mentioned above.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Is this good news or bad?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>by Dwayne Phillips Ah, my car will drive itself.
