It's a good start but we need communication protocols so cars can talk to one another and so traffic control devices can talk to them. We need uniform standards for road sensors, lane markers and broadcast obstruction warnings.

Maybe this is the incentive we need to finally fix our broken infrastructure.

How can they do that when they all look alike?

What are they going to do, roll tanks across the border of states that dare defy the time change?

You have to reach Mach 1.35 before it starts charging?

That's when the flux capacitor kicks in and turns your Tesla into a time machine.

Facebook is a megaphone for disinformation. True, there was disinformation around before they existed, before the internet existed, but to spread it you needed a budget. Facebook is like owning a printing press with a built-in distribution system.

More likely people who eat organic food think about their health more than people who don't care what they eat.

As an individual, you can't tell if this little thing or that little thing will really lower your cancer risk. What does work is eating like a sane person, exercising, and keeping your alcohol intake in the moderate zone.

Autonomous cars don't need stripes, street signs, speed limit signs or traffic lights. Are we going to continue spending billions on those human assist devices for a diminishing number of car enthusiasts?

You want to keep humans in the driver's seat, then find a way to pay for it.

Woo! Victory lap!
