Then we’ll soon see a type of driver that makes the smug from Prius drivers seem reasonable...
may God have mercy on our souls.
In my lifetime we will have gone from cars that were "unsafe at any speed" to cars that will bore you to death.
But seriously, what worries me when people start talking about your car having an "ecosystem" is the question of exactly who or what that ecosystem will include.
Of course, your iCar will be connected to every other iDevice you own, and Mother Apple, itself.
Will it also be connected to the local, state, and national police forces? The NSA? Homeland Security? The IRS?
Is Apple big enough to prevent that from happening, and do they even want to?
There's nothing that the liberal/fascist control freaks want more that to have absolute knowledge and control of people's movements. And with a fully connected driverless car, uhhh, transportation module, they will have that.
We're talking about the voluntary dissolution of one major aspect of what used to be our freedom of movement and association.
But most people won't care. The iCar will be safe and eco-friendly and oh-so-hip.
And every iCar will have its very own telescreen to lull us into submission.
And before the flamethrowers come out, as they surely will, the same comments apply to the Googlemobile too.
