... driving home after an evening out in winter, only to have a thick fog descend, crawling back up the mountain at walking pace, blowers, lights wipers all on full, wondering if the battery will hold out another 3 kilometres?
Ahh... but we won't be driving our electric cars by then.
Won't need wipers, or headlights.
Besides, the self-driving car will have already decided that it would have run out of power before arrival, and booked you in to a motel instead.
Of course it'll probably only choose one that sponsors adverts on it's chosen search engine.
