Imagine if the government could remote-control your car! You’d be in good hands, wouldn’t you?
Driverless, computer-guided cars… it sounds like something out of The Hunger Games. You don’t seriously think they’re going to worry about the robo-cars behind unsafe or unreliable, do you?
Honk if you agree with this statement: “I want Joe Biden to drive my car for me!”
Then tell us where to send the men in the white coats.
“Leave the driving to us!”
Automobile and traffic experts recently told the government to slow way, way down in its push to put us all into driverless, computer-guided cars ( http://hosted.ap.org/dynamic/stories/U/US_SELF_DRIVING_CARS_CAUTION?SITE=AP&SECTION=HOME&TEMPLATE=DEFAULT&CTIME=2016-04-08-15-37-19 ).
Granted, there are an awful lot of people who shouldn’t be allowed even to touch a steering wheel. But as always the government favors a one-size-fits-all approach. For the sake of the ninnies who are a menace on the highway, they want all the cars to be “self-driving.”
Because that way they can hook your car up with Big Brother and then they can control it instead of you.
The experts warned the National Highway Safety Administration that the robo-cars are not anywhere near as safe as the government thinks they are: there are still a lot of bugs in the system.
Do you think our beloved leaders care if the cars are safe or not? The very idea of exerting that much control over ordinary people’s ordinary lives is, to them, pure ecstasy.
Tell you what. Let’s save tons of time and effort, and ask our beloved rulers just to list the things they don’t want to control.
You could probably fit it onto the back of a fortune cookie slip.
