Efficiency would explode”

the siren call of the technologist is “I can do EVERYTHING for you” but the siren call of his technology is “I will make you a drone”

“the siren call of the technologist is “I can do EVERYTHING for you””

So you think that driverless cars is a conspiracy for the government to take over.

Not really. This is an innovation sort of like the transition from the horse to the automobile.

It was probably hard to imagine in 1900 that the new fangled horseless carriage would one day dominate the country.

A computer integrated car system will spur freedom.

Commute time would be drastically cut, freeing people to spend more time in commerce or ascertainment or enriching activities.

Americans are innovators. We want to find a solution to the mindless hours wasted by traffic congestion.

We want a solution that permits us to keep individual cars instead of one that forces us into “high speed” trains. Mass transit is the unAmerican way.
