Want your mind to be blown?



In most of our lifetimes there will be a huge chunk of the population who won't even know how to drive.

Autonomous vehicles will be the norm and "cars as a service" will take over instead of outright owning a car. Why own a car when you can press a button on your phone and have one there in minutes? Why even bother to drive it when software can do it for you?

This is already the case for those that live in huge urban areas where a car isn't really needed. Before Uber/Lyft/etc....they just walked, took public transport, or hailed a cab.

Jesus H Christ - you ever hear of or think of being self reliant and self sufficient? I weep for our future.
