When it comes to fleets of subscription-based, app-based, self-driving vehicles, one might think that individuality goes out the window. However, this may not be the case. The prospect of this potentially-emerging industry could be great for digital artists.

Let me explain: as the video above notes, there'll likely be a demand that, whenever you hail a vehicle to come pick you up, that vehicle will arrive with the appearance and design of your own choosing. Meaning, for something like this to be a possibility, the external shell of these vehicles will need to be made of an interactive, smart material that changes its own design and color in real-time.

For digital artists, this would be a dream come true. They could create partnerships with the companies who own these fleets of vehicles, whereby the proceeds of each design selected will go into the pocket of the original artist. As a result, millions of potential artists (both amateur and professional) could profit from the rise of nationwide self-driving industries.

Another potential in job creation would be on-the-go services, restaurants, etc. for an increasing population of travelers. The idea of remaining in a remote location for a long period of time will be replaced by a new wave of modern nomadic living - the birth of 21st-century nomads. As such, many job-creating industries could pop up all throughout the sides of these roads.

And as the above video mentions, this only lends weight to what the famous futurist FM-2030 once referred to as the mobilia!

"The home or commune was a place you lived in. The mobilia is any place you translive through.



The family by its very structure is conservative. The mobilia by its nonstructure dynamic.



The family and the commune foster stability. The mobilia encourages movement.



The family by its exclusivity leads to sluggishness — boredom — loneliness. The mobilia by its fluidity maximizes growth and aliveness.



The family encourages possessiveness. The mobilia sharing.



The family has been the nucleus of a tradition-bound — settled — fragmented world. The mobilia is the nucleus of a fluid Universal Life.



To translive through mobilias is to be involved in the human family."
