Policy Implications of Autonomous Vehicles | Cato Institute
Policy Implications of Autonomous Vehicles | Cato Institute
. . . autonomous vehicles will transform the 21st century in the same way that
mass-produced automobiles transformed the 20th. Auto travel will become
safer. Congestion will decline if not disappear. People who can be
productive rather than endure the stress of driving will look at travel
in an entirely new way. Eventually, mobility will be available to
everyone, not just those who have a driver’s license.

"The power in any society is with those who get to impose the
fantasy. It is no longer, as it was for centuries throughout Europe, the
church that imposes its fantasy on the populace, nor is it the
totalitarian super state that imposes the fantasy, as it did for 12
years in Nazi Germany and for 69 years in the Soviet Union. Now the
fantasy that prevails is the all-consuming, voraciously consumed popular
culture, seemingly spawned by, of all things, freedom. The young
especially live according to beliefs that are thought up for them by the
society’s most unthinking people and by the businesses least impeded by
innocent ends. Ingeniously as their parents and teachers may attempt to
protect the young from being drawn, to their detriment, into the
moronic amusement park that is now universal, the preponderance of the
power is not with them." - My Life as a Writer - NYTimes
