I remember being shocked that my third generation smart phone didn't have a pull out keyboard. Or that headphone jacks became a casualty. I think in the long run this is the goal.

Next step, you can't use the car you paid for without a subscription for the self driving service. Want to drive yourself instead to save money? Nope, you bought a car without a steering wheel.

You won't even be able to buy these cars, they'll just be subscription only. If you're not paying the subscription, it won't even show up
