I really wonder why our German Automotive Execs think the future of indiviual mobility is a characterless people carrier. Basically a self-moving iPad of some sort.
I'm sure people carriers (self driving vans or mini-vans) will have a bright future in PUBLIC TRANSPORT, but I highly doubt this will be a spot where BMW will be able to charge premium prices (like selling a $5000 carbon fibre cosmetic package for a car that will only drive by itself...)
Where is the emotion gone? People still buy expensive manual/analog watches, even though a $2 digital watch might be more accurate...but totally boring.
