The Industry, led by oligopolistic firms, it trying to push the idea of self-driving 'autonomous' cars (Robot-Car sounds off putting I guess) on an unsuspecting public that - as usual - has no say in this. But despite all the (paid for with backhanders?) enthusiasm in a gullible press three questions need to be answered: (1) Is it not the case that a lot of people LOVE to drive their cars? (2) Apart from the question of battery life, how long the re-loading takes and whether or not there are enough loading stations - where is all the electricity coming from? England already is threatened with an Electricity crisis and the additional demand (if ALL cars and trucks switch to e-cars) would be enormous. (3) Governments in many countries would loose a major source of revenue, how is it going to be replaced?
So dear Google etal, what are your answers?

Trump has abandoned decades of American foreign policy, not caring what
anyone thinks. Is that necessarily bad?
