The cars of the future will be electric, self-driving, robots. There's little romance when interacting with an appliance so live it up while you can. OTOH, the sex trade is going to be booming. My guess is that pay for play gals will be moving to mobile play rooms. As an added bonus, you can get dropped off anywhere you like after a happy ending. Ain't technology grand?!
