I'd rather see more comprehensive driving tests for all people, not just the elderly. There are plenty of people half his age and probably one quarter his age who can't drive well, yet have a license (or don't and drive anyway). I'd even go so far as to say that driving exams should be annual or bi-annual, and if you don't pass, you don't get your license renewed. (Lots of caveats there, but didn't go in to it.)
The black box problem is just another indicator of our society being taken over by the big brother syndrome. I'm not keen on the Onstar being able to monitor my location, but if the truck were stolen, I know I stand a better chance at getting it back versus not having the system. I'm also not too keen on wireless throttle control, but the right size electromagnetic pulse would shut down a computer-controlled car regardless of throttle connection type. (Maybe shut down non-computer cars too..) |
