I'm not certain why there is a push to go driverless. What are you supposed to do, if you are not driving? Sit and stare out the window because doing anything else causes motion sickness?

It'll be a bit like traveling in the first class car of an early British passenger train in that you won't have to rub shoulders with the masses. Your vehicle will be supplying the power, and your part of the train won't be physically coupled to the rest of it, but you will be part of the train nonetheless. Fedgov and the social engineers can't convince everyone to take mass transit, so this is one way to sell you the idea by the drink before they force you to buy the bottle.

I believe Comrade Sunstein calls it "nudging."

In any event, we will all lose a good deal of autonomy, and someone else will make big money from us in the bargain.

It’s all about control, in spite of what the “it-can’t-happen-here” folks might say. It’s all about keeping tabs on where you go, when you go, and what you do when you get there. And when things get difficult, it’s all about preventing you from doing things that the elites don’t want you to do.

But they never tell you the real reason why things are happening, they will always assure you that your safety and well-being is their only goal, and that if you do nothing wrong, you have nothing to worry about.

Tyranny doesn’t always arrive behind ranks of goose-stepping troops. More often it comes in brightly wrapped packages decorated with shiny ribbons and bows, delivered by grinning politicians, and hailed by the sycophantic news media as the doorway to a wonderful new age.

“Five year plans and new deals, wrapped in golden chains...”
