If the self-driving car is using any software like Windows, we’re all going to die. What happens when there is a blue screen of death? I realize that it’s dangerous for people to drive but I think it can also be dangerous for humans to be stuck inside a self-driving car. I have my doubts on it.

We have the technology today where people can work from home if their job functions are such that theirs is a job that can done from anywhere but companies don’t trust their employees so they insist that they work in an office. If that changes and enough people are able to work from home then people really won’t need cars because they won’t go out that much. Probably won’t be able to go out with the air pollution that is likely to be the future result of Trump’s actions!
