For years now, we have heard of the radical new future of self-driving cars and automated transportation that will literally change the way we live our lives if it indeed becomes the norm. The new ‘norm’ will bring some very new everyday activities to lite with that free time not focused on the road while on your way anywhere, and one of those things according to a new study is sex. NBC News covered the whole story here.
“This is something that seems to have stimulated interest,” said Scott Cohen, deputy director of research of the School of Hospitality and Tourism Management at the University of Surrey, who led the study.
Around 60 percent of Americans have already had sex in a car, noted the survey. But with driverless cars, it’s more than just couples who might want to sneak in a quickie while on the go.
“Sex is a part of urban tourism and commercialized sex is part of that too, so it is quite likely that autonomous vehicles will lead to prostitution, whether legal or illegal, to take place in moving autonomous vehicles in the future,” he said.
The Late Show with Stephen Colbert riffed on the whole thing with some very funny observations.
