Foulk Road

[TwistedKarma]

So brainy-ak has decided to make foulk 2 lanes, back to 4, down to 2, and so on, bike lanes, center turn lane.

Most believe, this add congestion to the road,  and peeps will use other roads instead.

So same accidents on foulk, and more on silverside and shipley, marsh ect.

They have to justify their existence somehow.  What's with traffic lights on 95 off ramps???

Blue route has lights on ramps

When autonomous vehicles kick in, you will be in a back seat smoking your pipe and reading the paper....and there won't be any red lights.

When that day comes I am moving lol I personally don't trust self-driving vehicles any further than I can push them. I can see how in the cities they could be popular / useful, but out in the country I really see no place for them. Plus, I enjoy driving as a way to get out and relax.

If they have their way the car won’t even have a steering wheel.  You will have to ask permission to go anywhere.....Me:..,”I want to go to the local gun shop”.    Car dashboard screen “What is a gun shop”

Exactly! "Sorry, you don't have enough social credits to go to the grocery store. Watch this training video to earn social points."

Me to car: “Ball Park Franks”
Car screen; “not approved”
Me to car “Breyers Ice Cream”
Car Screen “Not approved”
Me to car:  “Bill Gates Soylent Green”

you are all a bunch of funny guys haha
but I think it will be wonderful.  although I like driving, wouldn't it be nice to take a nap while going on a trip, instead of worrying about staying in your lane whilst playing chicken on a two lane road for 4 hrs?
I hope big brother keeps his nose out of it, though.

The car, would most likely dive any of us to the police, because, in the new green world...

"I'm sorry, sir, but you don't have the social credits to buy a car. You can have a bicycle though. It is better for the environment."

Ok first of all Twisted, the police work for us, and the car would drive the police to us...unless by then socialism has set in, in which case we are all screwed anyway.

Seth, you won't have to buy a car, just press the button that say's 'car now'.  So, not owning 3 cars (like I do) you will only pay for the time you have it.  No monthly bills, no insurance, no maintenance.

Clarance, I doubt if you will have to have a background check to get in the car, there will have to be privacy settings.  I mean otherwise, how will the 'ladies of the night' operate?

Self-driving car: "Sensors detect fire in the vehicle."
Me: "I just lit a joint. Shut up and drive."

I would not have an electric car; how far do you have to walk for a bucket of electricity??  I have a Honda that tells be I am off the road when I am not, hits the breaks when the road changes from asphalt to concrete, etc.  And I surely don't want a back seat driver under the hood.
