    Isn't that kind of one of the big arguments for self driving cars? You can get some 3g installed in them and just work from the road as you commute. Effectively meaning an hour commute is no longer a guaranteed 10 hour day.

    We actually have some companies starting this. In San Antonio they had Rackspace (hosting company) start a bus from Austin to SA where they have wifi on the bus and it lets you live in Austin while working an hour away without cutting into your day an extra 2 hours.

    This is obviously a very specific example that takes a really progressive company to try out.
