I definitely judged this harshly from the title - and the first section piqued my interest but it still wasn't clear whether I should pursue it more.

The article talks about the decline of car manufacturing, and how self driving cars will revolutionize the world. The author takes it one step further though and talks about how we can rethink how living spaces work, imagining tall skyscrapers with adjustable rooms.

While I'm all for the futuristic viewpoint, I'm a little cautious because it seems like this might perpetuate inequality still - we still have the capacity to build skyscrapers as it stands, and there are other downsides to society/culture that I don't see being addressed by this.
