[DeTomaso] Jerry Brown wants to ban gasoline powered vehicles

Based on how unreliable our PCs are, I am not optimistic about self driving cars, at least not until there are a lot of miles to exercise the software.  And then, someone can hack into the software and drive you to a convenient location to rob you.
It is really sad, but I suspect many young people would gladly accept living in a pod with a virtual reality existence as in the MATRIX movies.  Young people don't like getting dirty, hitting knuckles, bleeding, or anything like real life.  C. S. Lewis wrote a short book titled "The Abolition of Man" maybe 60 years ago, and I think he painted a picture of the future on mankind.  If you ever feel like being humbled by a glimpse into the mind of a brilliant thinker, it's a good read.

Clearly you haven’t tried to drive in LA LA Land.  Plus 50% DON’T know how to drive and 49% are total inconsiderate A-holes!! 
(which only self-driving cars will solve).  I just got back from Canada where the people truly know how to drive and are considerate! It was fantastic!

And… that would leave more gas for us Pantera owners.  Every time I pass a Prius I wave and say “Thank You!”  More fuel for me. 

Of course, by 2040, I’ll probably be dead, so…  WTFDIC ;-)
