I think little businesses will quickly spring up to fill that need, and without the big real estate investment required for a hotel. With the reduced cost of running a quick-shower facility vs. a hotel you have to know that current hotel prices would quickly become a thing of the past. And many people like myself would often skip the shower anyway and cleanup with a couple baby wipes.
Maybe those of us that travel by bicycle will start getting good deals and be sought after by the hotel industry?

At least till we get driverless bikes??
I don't get it. Why would hotels be threatened by driverless cars? Are people going to suddenly start sleeping in their cars? The driverless cars don't look any more comfortable for sleeping than traditional cars. And personally, I'm not about to fall asleep while the damn thing is moving. No way!
