Afterwards it will either drive back to the remote parking location or go on to serve more customers. \u00a0Parking lots and parking meters will go the way of horse manure, as will most forms of public transportation. No need to find a parking space or worry about falling asleep or even driving drunk. \u00a0Some robocars will come equipped with beds, and certainly some will have weed and whiskey dispensers, particularly in Colorado. \u00a0When your robocar needs a repair it will know long before you do and will drive itself to the mechanic without even bothering you about it. If it breaks down outright, \u00a0another car will replace it within minutes. \u00a0Robocars will perpetually diagnose their own mechanical problems and will drive themselves to their own mechanics for continual top maintenance. \u00a0We just get in our robocars and use our mobile devices to pick where we want to go. \u00a0Speed dial: honey, home, office, bar, skeet range etc. then kick back, have drink and off you go, 100 miles an hour, bumper to bumper. \u00a0I \u00a0even predict \u00a0that most mobile devices will come synced with a few bargain robocars as cheap apps like Angry Birds or BubbleFREE.<\/p>\n<p>The BIG money maker for web designers in the .car boom will be in developing the essential, reliable web sites needed to give customers reliable luxury robocar access and real time navigation along with easy cloud to robocar syncing. \u00a0Car dealers will become robocar web hosters. \u00a0They will not even own the cars they host. \u00a0Maintenance web sites for robocar hardware (the motorized vehicles people will sit in) will also have to seamlessly integrate with wholesale and retail auto hosting sites.<\/p>\n<p>Retail robocar dealers will lease robocars like web hosters now lease webspace. \u00a0The \u00a0material steel, plastic and rubber robocars themselves will be owned by the auto manufacturers, Ford, Toyota, Tesla, much like Google now owns the vast networks of mainframes that house the cloud for web hosters and retail users. \u00a0Smaller wholesale robocar hosters will lease large batches of robocars from the primary manufacturers, and finally driving customers will lease an even smaller retail sets of car types from their retail dealers\u2019 total auto rack-space.<\/p>\n<p>Robocar subscriptions will be similar to our current cell phone service agreements. \u00a0The hardware will become the cheapest part. \u00a0The metal vehicles will only provide the platform for all the stuff we really want. \u00a0Once the customer purchases his or her robocar package, \u00a0the same type of robocar will pull up every time, but the particular vehicle may change depending on what robocar package the consumer purchases. If a consumer buys a &#8220;dedicated robocar package,&#8221; that exact car will pull up every time. If a consumer does not buy a dedicated robocar, that particular robocar would never stop running, going from consumer to consumer only stopping for maintenance and repairs. Packages that included a dedicated robocar would, of course, be more expensive since a dedicated robocar remains out of use until called by its dedicated user. \u00a0But with a dedicated robocar, the consumer could leave something in the back seat and know it would still be there when the robocar returned.<\/p>\n<p>Car hosting web sites will create the packages customers purchase, allow for car exchanges and constant customization of various car packages. \u00a0No one will own a single car, but pay car hosters for access to a variety of models. \u00a0Rather than simple web hosting, there will be car hosting conjoined with web hosting. \u00a0Each car will simply be another mobile device, another piece of replaceable hardware that operates in conjunction with all the driver\u2019s other mobile devices. \u00a0Sync your phone to your herd, Cowboy! \u00a0Wild Bob\u2019s Wild Rides! \u00a0We have 62 fantastic models. \u00a0Choose your package of rides: \u00a0bargain package, three models&#8211;one for yourself, one for the kids one for that special date. \u00a0Deluxe package: all 62 robocar models! \u00a0A different vehicle for every mood and need, including the popular Cross Country Redneck Big Rig: beds, beer and bucking bronco all inside.
