I’m a long-time Apple guy and a car guy as well, but self-driving cars leave me cold.

Id be happy with a car that could either go find a free place to park or loop the block so I could do things occasionally in ‘Rat Centers where parking is at a premimum.

Self-driving cars will enable millions of middle class families to have a virtual chauffeur enabling them to live farther out in the exburbs. More than anything politics is driven by population density. They will become more self-reliant and conservative, and vote accordingly. Self-driving cars will destroy money-pit train transportation, bus lines, and immigrant driven taxis. The cities will empty out and many will go bankrupt. This technology is a game changer against America's communist cancer.

My son and I went to the Tour d'Elegance in Carmel, CA last Thursday and we were prognosticating what automobiles will be like 50 to 100 years from now. At the Tour, were were enjoying cars from 50 to 100 years in the past. I suggested that 50 to 100 years from now you won't be allowed to drive an automobile. They will all be self-driving and show up at your house on command (he'll be 74 in 50 years). No more accidents. Sedate acceleration and cornering. No injuries. Low insurance rates. No jerks flipping you off. The only time you will be able to drive your old sports cars will be at special events like the Tour (if anybody remembers how to actually drive a car). He didn't care for that glimpse of the future at all.
