The best thing about automated cars will be the end of taxi drivers.

“Dam deadly, that Turnpike. Almost took out Corzine as I recall.”

Highways are deadly...and who uses a seat belt in a taxi? Although it’s probably a good idea to use one, particularly on a highway.

Cortisone was different. He was a pompous ass who treated his subjects like crap - including forcing them to all wear seat belts. I still wish he would have set a better example of the risk of not wearing a seat belt...

That was all Corzine’s fault. It may have been the Parkway, I don’t remember.
