It is time for VR to do the job

Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg wants commuting to work replaced with VR/AR telecommuting.

Zuckerberg told the Clubhouse talkshow: "One of the things that [VR] will unlock is the ability to live anywhere you want and be present in another place and really feel like you are there."

He said that will unlock a lot of economic opportunity because people will be able to live where they want and increasingly work where they want and kind of teleport into place.

"I am also pretty optimistic about the impact on climate, in reducing the amount of commuting that people have to do. I think the advance in electric cars in reducing emissions is great and exciting, but I tell my team that it is easier to move bits of atoms around so we should be teleporting, not driving."
