Is there anything that only the rich can currently afford but that everyone will have in the future?
When the very first cars were built, only the rich could afford it, but now a large part of the population (in developed countries) has one or more.
What do you think will be such an evolution in the future?

Not here in Singapore. Cars went from affordable to being a luxury good. I wonder if its the same elsewhere.
It should be like that in more places. Too much of America is built around the requirement to own and operate an expensive piece of heavy machinery just to participate in society. American cities should all go back to how dense they were prewar, when they were walkable and don't have interstates bulldozed through their downtowns.
Singapore is definitely special in that regards (in a good way, imo). I can't think of any other place going quite as hard on reducing cars.
Yes, but the public transport in Singapore is excellent. I wish more cities did it.
