If you’ve been following the news and trends as of lately, you’ve surely been bombarded with images and articles regarding the current trends in technology — virtual reality and self-driving cars.

I’ve seen VR gaming studios pop-up right after the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona and many AR companies refresh their apps and experiences in order to get with the trend. I get it, if Facebook is betting on this trend, it must be a winner.

Likewise, companies like Google and Tesla have been at the forefront of the self-driving car trend, with Uber and Apple supposedly catching up fast. And these are only the media darlings — many, many more companies are betting big on self-driving cars becoming a really hot industry in the next few years.

And all this is marvelous. I can’t wait to be fully immersed in a VR experience while in a self-driven Uber on my way to the office.
