Anticipated Future for Autonomous Cars
We here at Elgin Volkswagen are big fans of the idea of “saving time” for ourselves by letting our car drive us to our destination. Having a vehicle drive on its own would be a great opportunity to read, nap, surf the internet, play video games, meditate, or just plain chill.
We’ve been hearing about self-driving cars being worked on for a few years now, and original optimistic predictions said they’d be here by 2020. Well, 2020 has come and gone, and we still have to put our feet, hands and brains to work piloting our vehicles to the dealership each morning. When will self-driving cars actually be available?

Korean Markets and Restaurants with Soju near Elgin
Soju is the single most consumed type of liquor on the planet. This popularity is owed to a variety of factors, including the heavy drinking culture of Korea and the growing international success of K-Pop and Korean media. It also has a low alcohol content compared to other liquors, which not only lends itself to a delightfully smooth taste, but allows the beverage to be sold at restaurants that hold a beer and wine license but no liquor license.
Trying out some Soju is a way to experience a bit of culture from home, which is especially valuable in this COVID-era wherein almost all international travel is a no-no for Americans. Where can one find it in the Elgin area?
