The article is supposed to predict the future but is flawed. The first part is how electric vehicles will make everything different, because electric is the future. So exhausts, batteries, and others are a thing of the past because of electric vehicles. No mention of hydrogen cars, or cleaner regular gas powered cars.
Then there is negating their own predictions with a prediction. You don't need mirrors because cameras are so common, and then you don't need cameras because the car will drive itself.
There is also a push for phones being the controller of the car. No keys, just a phone. Adjust everything by phone. Then they say the phone won't connect directly to the car because it's wireless charging.
There are some cool ideas, but the prediction is bad.
What are bad predictions you've seen? What are your predictions?
One thing I loved about old school ST is that they knew their ships would need fuel. It's a plot point a couple of times. Commie Utopia and they still needed rocket unleaded.
