The guys on Red Eye Radio were talking about autonomous vehicles last night - I didn't catch much, but what they said got me thinking.
In their view, we will start seeing some new rules concerning driving, such as by a certain date, private ownership of all transportation will be outlawed. To get there, incremental rules will be out into place, such as the HVOC lanes already common in the Boston area and other larger cities. Under current rules, if you are driving solo, you're in with the masses, drive with two, three or four passengers (or more) you can use the HVOC lanes which have far les traffic, and you whip right on through.
The Red Eye guys envision increasingly more restrictions being placed on society to get people to accept the culture change. For me, my wife and I love to just go out for rides, wherever the road will take us, so if this comes-about, we'll miss that. But, I thin we're still a-ways off........
Too much technology and infrastructure to improve on and install, and too many bugs to work out.
There you go man, keep as cool as you can. Face piles and piles of trials with smiles. It riles them to believe that you perceive the web they weave. And keep on thinking free. (Moody Blues)
What are your thoughts?
