With the advent of widespread autonomous driving, imagine a future where our personal vehicles aren't idle 95% of the time. Instead, they dynamically transform and offer hyper-localized services to their communities when not in personal use. Envision your self-driving car becoming a temporary mobile charging station for e-bikes, a pop-up parcel delivery hub, or even a localized air quality sensor network. How would this 'car as a service platform' model reshape vehicle design, ownership economics, and the very fabric of our neighborhoods, moving beyond just personal transport or ride-sharing?
