The Economist magazine is putting another car fantasy advancement in their publication with a special feature on the future of the automobile. They are talking about how cars will run themselves and so forth. Never mind that young people have no want or need for suburbanization and the happy motoring highway system. For the pro-business crowd a future without the polluting automobile is just unfathomed for them even to consider. In fact the folks at Economist think very well that cars will keep churning out in India and China and be a ubiquitous as they are in America. O h sure we have plenty of oil. Alternative fuels and electric cars will be cleaner and so forth. There was a time when rich people and advertising companies they owned thought we would all be flying on rooftops. It is a fantasy. The same thing with google and their ridiculous nothing of automatic cars, We have automatic cars that drive people already and have invested millions in them over the years. it is called the subway or trains. Hello.
people think technology is the answer for everything. People will not want to drive a car that drives itself and breaks suddenly for every little object. The concept of a car that drives on a freeway system by computer control is just insane and people who think that these will be sought after by drivers. People want and enjoy driving a vehicle. There is no fun of letting the machine drive itself. Google and these technology people must think we are all brain damaged and will jump to any societal change they deem worthy for us. Cars will untimely fail when they become too expensive for the masses and normal people to acquire. Then the rich can have and fund their private roads for the few remaining cars of high technology and electricity that will never be mass produced like Henry Ford's vision was accomplished. Where these folks will drive to in a economically collapse society remains to be seen. Maybe to the airports and beaches.
