Cars are teen nudist sex videosgoing to drive themselves sooner or later -- so what will we do with all that extra commuting time so we're not stuck twiddling our thumbs?
That's what Audi is looking to find out with a new study, conducted as part of a collaboration withthe human-machine interaction experts of the Fraunhofer Institute for Industrial Engineering. It put test subjects in a super futuristic autonomous car simulation, then assigned them a series of attention-demanding tasks while monitoring brain activity with EEG sensors.
It's called The 25th Hour project--an allusion to the 50 minutes or so the average driver spends behind the wheel, and the "extra" hour they could gain without having to drive.

Millennials were specifically selected as test subjects -- we're more receptive to self-driving cars, according to Audi -- and put to work in the sim while being alternately bombarded with ads, neon lights, and social media notifications, as well as cocooned in a quiet pod environment with ambient lighting.
The EEG results found that the latter setup was more relaxing, and therefore better for productivity. The distracting demo was, of course, distracting, making the work more difficult. Audi knew that would be the case from the start -- but that doesn't mean the test was a waste of time.
“The results show that the task is to find the right balance," Goldmann said. "In a digital future, there are no limits to what can be imagined. We could offer everything in the car – really overwhelm the user with information.”
Instead of focusing on flashing lights and rider engagement, Audi will likely look to find a healthy balance determined by what passengers want. “[W]e want to put people at the center of attention," Goldmann continued. "The car should become a smart membrane. The right information should reach the user at the right time.”
Audi and its peers in the auto industry are intent on creating a worthwhile rider experience for good reason. A report published by Intel and Strategy Analytics last month projects that self-driving cars will create a massive $7 trillion "passenger economy" by 2050, with 250 million hours of commuting time per year dedicated to these new spaces.

The car as a smart mobile workspace model is already being put into motion, as Volvo and BMW have announced Skype for Business integrations for some of their vehicles.
Audi just announced its most advanced semi-autonomous system yet with the A8, so self-driving isn't too far down the road for the automaker. Once the tech arrives for good, get ready for an extra hour of watching movies, sleeping, or yes, working during your commute.
