A car is a virtual environment. Awareness is not produced fully through virtuality. Today the world conquers space like never before. Technology allows objects, people, information, and ideas to travel great distances and dimensions. The physical domain of people consists of countries, not towns.
Information travels the world in a few seconds.
People circumnavigate the globe in a day. Where did it begin. Some say the industrial revolution. I believe it to be at the dawn of time. Life revolves around movement.
