Self-driving cars, where the government has ultimate control over the software. The software aggregates how many miles you travel, where you go, how often you go, etc. The government will collect all this data and tax you. Additionally, the government will allow you to go only certain places, restrict other places, allow you to travel only at certain times.

I really don’t think people are thinking through this wiz-bang technology. Why is this seeming fascination with removing you from controlling your car and placing that control in the hands of others. I only see freedom of movement both monitored and restricted by the government.

No thanks. Keep your Zuckerberg-Google-Buffett controlled technology.

The goal is to make cars so expensive that the masses are force back to the city-gulag where they are more easily controlled.

Once again the luddites show up and are the ONLY people talking about self-driving cars being centrally controlled. Nobody developing them is doing ANY form of central control, that whole idea exists ONLY in the brains of people against the technology.

Rush’s “Red Barchetta” comes closer to becoming reality.
