In Japan, a survey of people who rented cars revealed that
one out of every eight users rented automobiles for purposes other than transportation.
An overwhelmingly large number of respondents said they slept or rested in vehicles, followed by customers who said they used cars as spots to talk with friends, family and business clients on the phone.
People also rented vehicles to watch TV in, get dressed up for Halloween, practice singing, rapping and English conversation, and even do facial stretches said to reduce the size of their face, NTT found.
A car may be one of the last truly private spaces left.
