What is next for cars? What kinds of features will appeal to the public?

Ethan and his girlfriend Amanda love going on adventures together, and already have a useful car for that. But what about speed and handling? Social media questions ask if reverse lights should be regulated, should there be more live debates, and is it okay to buy a car knowing you won’t keep it?
