Wonderful. And the second we have successful driverless cars, the government will gradually require all cars to be driverless “for safety”. Then the government will require the route you’ll take, the required number of passengers (for efficiency) and of course, your maximum speed.

Then it’s only a matter of time before your trip is denied because of “energy restrictions” or “excess traffic volume” or “other traffic has priority”.

Can’t wait to give up your freedom, can you?

Who or what decides when it’s time to go to the car wash and what kind of car wash it’s going to be and where? Will we have to make an appointment just to get the damned car washed?

I understand your concern but what about people that can’t or shouldn’t drive.It gives a lot of freedom back to those who are homebound. Driverless cars won’t be mandated. At least in our lifetimes. I can see a time in the future where they might though. In a way travel is restricted already. You can’t get on an airplane without the govt. permission.
