Spot on!
Another thing to go in the not far distant future is car dealerships. The only way to buy a Tesla is online and they require so little service that a traditional dealership couldn't survive. Electric cars will become more and more common, thus reducing the need for dealers (who rip us off on servicing). You heard it here first!
