An insight into this issue is to realize that texting can be a drug. Its hard to say what is and isnt a drug but in my opinion video games are a drug too since I will visit my cousins house and he and his friend will play for 16 hours straight and be completely unaware of whats happening around them and detached from reality. In my opinion that means video games are a drug. Its like that one guy who said: I cant define what a pornographer does but i know it when i see it.

This is not an argument to ban video games its an argument to say we need to think more about what is and isnt a drug really. I like video games and they are a good drug. so we can make good rules instead of just saying its a drug lets ban it.

Spaceman Bryce, everyone!

Are you talking about traffic circles? Or do you mean when you can't use your phone for directions and have to ask some random and they say, "Just keep going straight down this road. It's roundabouts 5 miles on your left."

Then there is going to be all the poor people who cant afford the new cars, so its going to be FOREVER before it can be mandated that the only cars allowed on the road are computer driven. Im sure it will start out with "computer lanes" or specific tollways and such.

So basically in our lifetime well prolly have some google car like cars on the road, but the really efficient and cool travel is going to happen after we are dead.

- Agree there will be some holdouts. But I think the first time they see someone in the next car taking a nap or playing with their phone or eating they will want to make the switch.

- My guess is self driving cars will be able to recognize other self driving cars and drive close / in formation with them, but will give human driven cars a wide berth.

- New cars are expensive BUT self driving cars will allow for the rise of car sharing programs - instead of owning a car you might spend a couple hundred dollars / month to have access to a fleet of cars which could make user adoption EASIER than buying a new car.

I'm super bullish about the changes this tech will have on everyones lives. Sorry for geeking out!

I know what you're trying to do but I have too much self respect now to play your game.
Sometimes when no one respects you somewhere you just have to respect yourself and be your own hero.

I know you probably think otherwise, but things are not always about yourself, Bryce.
