Even before I became politically-minded, I knew that one day we would see self-driving cars. It felt like an inevitability. Many people don’t like driving, and moreover, many people can’t for one reason or another. As technology progressed, the autonomous car was going to be one of those things that came first. It was even depicted in Hollywood movies with near-future settings.
Sure enough, Elon Musk arrived on the scene and began working on that. Soon, we had the self-driving car in various Tesla models, and as Musk recently announced, he’s releasing a fully autonomous “Cybercab” that doesn’t even come with a steering wheel. It’s all automated.

Don’t get me wrong, I think this stuff is great. I’m looking forward to things like this being included…
