Dali described this future in 1973 his self driving car vision: Intra-uterine Paradesic Locomotion

This automobile we carry in a small valise. We blow it up. It is inflatable with helium. There is a double wall, inside is the helium. There is also a mechanism to make it rotate on an axis. This axis contains the little motor and also the place to sit down. So we inflate our car which is a double spiracle wall and there is no traffic accidents. It is if you were inside of protoplasm in a living cell. We can also graduate its elasticity and deflated when it is not in use. The precursor To his car Is the Dalinean velocipede Which was developed as long ago as 1950 in sort of a rigid plastic.

But now this is going to be a soft, double-walled Ester, with the wall filled with the lightest element, which is helium gas.

The vehicle proceeds down the road Towards Heaven on one side represented by the Church And on the other is the garden of paradise All on a surrealistic Background with the etching of a snail in the middle of the road. On the lower left pointing and showing the way is the Dalinean Master
