The CEOs of Tesla, Uber, and Pepsi have joined President-elect Donald Trump's "Strategic and Policy Forum":
President-elect Donald Trump has tapped three additional high-profile chief executives including Tesla's Elon Musk to join a group that will meet regularly to give input on job creation and the economy.
Trump announced the first batch of CEOs for his "strategic and policy forum" on Dec. 2. The group is led by Stephen Schwarzman, the chief executive of Blackstone. Trump's transition team now said the group would expand to include Tesla's Musk, Uber CEO Travis Kalanick, and Pepsi chief Indra Nooyi.
From the article at The Wrap:
Trump announced the initial 16 members earlier this month, and the group will be chaired by Blackstone CEO Stephen A. Schwarzman. According to a press release distributed by Trump's transition team, "Members of the Forum will be charged with providing their individual views to the President — informed by their unique vantage points in the private sector — on how government policy impacts economic growth, job creation and productivity."

So, the next wave of tech will be transportation hailed by an app running on electricity with a beverages-machine in the back.
Now I think we need a cinema guy, a popcorn guy and a privacy sign. Then we can have a car, loaded with film, beverages and popcorn to transport you from A to B silently with electric drive and entertainment provided. The privacy sign is, of course, for the couples that engage in private viewing on the backseat (while being transported for inspection).
Sometimes, my fantasy gets a hold of me, but then, reality is even more strange...
