Wow, Ugly from the front, do like the rear and I guess we drivers would like a steering wheel and a gas pedal.

Mercedes Maybach has a great concept model   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=beIjNus180M

As for not having cars that drive themselves in the future....they will be here.  There are large #s of people who are unable to drive today's autos- blind, neurological disorders, elderly, never drivens...who would be a brand new market for the auto industry.  Imagine sending one to pick up your kids, or run your errands!
