What car will you have in the future a year to 10 years from now? - Toyota Yaris Forums

I worry that vehicles are becoming more of an appliance than something that invokes any excitement. 10 years from now the demand will be for something you can just hop into, say 'Alexa, take me to work', play on your phone for 30 minutes, and it will park itself once you reach your destination. Yes...I realize we have those today and they're called 'taxis', but this where I see us headed.

I will probably still be driving whatever gasoline-powered subcompact I can still buy in the $20-25k range. All this new technology will push our average vehicle prices even higher and the only people driving 'traditional' cars will be enthusiasts(like me) or people who can't afford all the technology(also like me). In the meantime, I will drive the Yaris and Echo.
