Welp.... Its pretty obvious to me where this is headed... We are slowly being moved away from our focused attention of driving and our "gasp" "enjoyment of driving"... To one of a mode of digital entertainment until we reach our destination.. The future holds for us a box that we enter, it will take us to where we want to be, it will self park for us, it will communicate with your smart phone / watch so you can locate it for your return destination.... It will talk to other boxes in the general vicinity, pre-stop to avoid accidents... It will determine the quickest way to get from A-B-A... The boxes will be super quiet so as not to distract from the digital experience of your journey.... There will be no physical contact between you and the operation of the box. It will detect the presence of your smartphone / watch and will simply wait for your verbal command to proceed... The Dragon will eventually revert back to an overgrown deer trail from lack of use.... I'm sad....
