“..cars that won’t crash..”

I seem to remember there was a ship that would not sink somewhere in the past.

The fully automated system will crash less than the old individually human-steered system. Since it will be safer, it will become mandatory. Steering wheels will be outlawed.

But not to worry, It's for your own good. And personal freedom and autonomy are probably racist values anyhow.

That’s what Microsoft promises about Windows 2040 as well.

We can’t even get unlicensed drivers off the road. I’ll bet my 1994 Eddie Bauer Bronco against the Honda any day of the week.

More fragile infrastructure—just what we need. Wilderness areas that were once private, rural lands, will be quiet indeed, and low-techs will have made a science of living on them unmolested.

It will be 46 years old in 2040. We’re talking about the future. Not now.

I can see this happening in heavily populated, especially leftist oriented states.

But what about rural states, places described as out in the middle of nowhere? Where gravel roads and dirt trails are abundant? Places where self sufficiency means freedom. A place where an ATV, a horse, or even a John Deere tractor is a means of transportation?

The lefties continual efforts to limit freedom makes having a bad car crash look good.

It’ll still be running in 2040, thanks for asking. Only have two mission kills, but when I’m 75 I hope to get a lot more.
