Some of the agency\u2019s seven ideas, shown below, are\u00a0<em>almost<\/em>\u00a0practical. Who can\u2019t imagine autonomously driven caf\u00e9s or pop-up stores? In fact, they already exist in California\u2014in the form of\u00a0self-driving cars that have groceries stocked in their back seats<\/p>\n<p>Other concepts might need a bit more thought, particularly the ones that SPACE10 envisions delivering resources to underserved communities. It may be difficult, for example, for a self-driving health clinic to bring medical care to truly remote areas. Nevertheless, the designs are useful for sparking conversations about the ways autonomous vehicles could transform everyday life.<\/p>\n<p>Why not turn your entire commute into one long meeting? SPACE10\u2019s Office on Wheels would enable you to not just work on your way to work, but also hold group\u00a0discussions\u00a0in a mobile version of a conference room.<\/p>\n<figure
