As cars get smarter and accident rates go down, we will be able to get rid of airbags and seatbelts. This would completely open up in-car design and likely trend towards minimal and utilitarian furniture, as leasing companies optimize for cost.

Nice thread! Another idea: People will also live further and further from cities. They can choose suburb, exurb, or rural living but still work in the mega city’s downtown. Housing prices change accordingly.

Good point! People historically have lived no further than 1 hour from work (whether that was by foot, horse, or car) so I can see this happen. Question is how important other amenities turn out to be (shops, cinemas, etc).
