[lbo-talk] the petro-thusians have their moment

[Michael Dawson]

It seems to me that computer-assisted driving, satellite-navigation, 
guidance magnets embedded in pavement, etc. will make existing issues of 
private cars vs. mass transportation and high vs. low population density 
obsolete.  Automatic navigation will make it possible for even infirm 
drivers to drive safely.  It will also lead to cars being much cheaper -- 
smaller and more energy efficient -- because collisions would be virtually 
eliminated and there would be no safety-based rationale for large vehicles.

Why do you think such technology will a) appear and b) work?  Sounds like
Duck Dodgers in the 24th-and-a-half-century to me...
