<div> What's AVIS going to do when autonomous cars and ridesharing put the nail in the coffin on the car rental industry? </div>
<div> They have all the experience and facilities to service huge fleets of cars - cleaning, fuelling, and repairing their own huge fleet of vehicles, plus they have parking lots and vehicle charging stations at airports and in urban cores.</div>
<div> </div>
<div> ... so they're exploring becoming a service provider for autonomous vehicles. After a hard morning of dropping office-workers off, your UBER will drive out to the airport to wait it's turn in line to be shampooed and fuelled up and ready for the next customer.</div>

<div> This is super brilliant.</div>
<div> How long until every step of the servicing is automated? Robot fuel attendants, robot carpet cleaners. Little robot that drives along with a rag and cleans your rims. :) </div>
