"The sci-fi '9h nine hours' hotel at Narita Airport, Tokyo, is more like a honeycomb than a honeymoon suite. Rows of sleeping capsules line the building plus locker rooms, showers and a lounge. The bizarre accommodation is just perfect for passengers boarding early morning flights or arriving late by car."
We are only missing the elusive flying cars.

For a small fee, you can sleep in the trunk of my car.

LOL!
There is a Sci-Fi short story (whose title I can't recall) that posits the Earth being invaded by giant Praying-Mantis type insects who, like bees, encapsulate humans in honey-comb like pods and seal them in for a food supply. Every time I see an article about those Japanese pod hotels/sleeprooms (most are for workers) I always think of that story. (shudder)
Uber trunk :)
Oh, great! Now I see that Lem wants to cut in on my scheme with that new found Uber stuff!
Not a new thing. This one has been around since 1979.
I'd guess that the trunk of AllenS's car would be more comfortable....so long as he left the trunk lid open.
