I have always felt that some kind of breakthrough with room temperature superconductors was going to kick off the revolution that is waiting in so many fields when that happens...such as batteries and electronics.
I love driving on my own, but I am also pulling for automated driving, because when I reach that age where I won’t be allowed to drive...
I think the technology is there to do it right now, it is the implementation that is problematic. And yeah...imagine driving to or from work at a nearly constant speed, reading a book (or snoozing) and the car, communicating with all cars around it, only slows nearly imperceptibly to allow one to pass in front and one behind as you zoom through a crowded intersection.
Heck, I can see that. But I want to be able to drive independently, too. Perhaps on a roadway that allows it. I dont’ know.
I’m with you on that.
I could see using it if I were traveling long distance.
May get there locally, but I don’t see that as easily.
Of course the accidents happen 25 miles from home generally.
