The document outlines research into how vehicle-to-vehicle communication technology could impact commuting experiences. Interviews found the technology could make commuting easier and safer by preventing accidents and allowing commuters to spend travel time on other activities. Additional research showed driverless cars could collect driving data, integrate tasks like errands into trips, and transform into mobile work or living spaces. A proposal suggested customizing self-driving cars' interiors as extensions of the home.
