If long-haul driverless travel were so useful for business travellers, I would expect to see more rich people in chauffeured RVs or buses, rather like how bands on tour have a sleeper bus with beds and showers (eg, <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.nightliner-support.eu&#x2F;5&#x2F;our-fleet&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.nightliner-support.eu&#x2F;5&#x2F;our-fleet&#x2F;</a> ).<p>Since I don&#x27;t, I suspect the business travel market isn&#x27;t there.
