The “driverless car” technology has the potential to be great for old folks who should not be driving but need to get around....
Hopefully it will be ready for prime time when we get to that point.
Of course that technology could be gas powered or electric—really a separate issue.
I am 82. The combined mileage on my car & 1 ton truck
== 569,000 miles.
I DO NOT NEED HANDS FREE VEHICLES.
