Yes, Bill. They do have motor homes. Autonomous motor homes would have
slightly different design criteria. For example, how do you safely secure
yourself when taking a shower on the road? How do you protect your private
goods inside the motor home when it is renting itself out?

I found that Audi has done a few design outings in this direction including
one they planned for 2035. If anyone makes this work, I predict they will
have a lot of fans. People living on universal basic income will need
minimum housing, and this might do it... Although not with the price tag of
an Audi, most likely.
