I know that one of the things that they were planning on building into this vehicle at some point was a GPS-based computer controlled driving. Using GPS or city-road beacons, each car would receive ‘clearance’ to fly along a certain path. A system like that would ensure that no two cars would ever get close enough to collide.

The navigation thing is good in theory, but I really don’t think it’s a good idea. I mean, what if the central traffic-controller computer gets hacked or taken over by terrorists or some other thing that would be good in an action thriller? That would just get ugly. “Pay me a million bagillion dollars or I’ll crash all the cars in the world!” Yeah.

Well, the future has to come sometime. Who knows for sure how it will work? Perhaps people are getting smarter.
