Agreed, that could be great. Perhaps people will start building them. It might have had to happen sooner though, as now pretty much everything is going digital. But who knows.
If self driving cars are "perfected" then I believe it won't take long for a strong case to gradually ban manual driving to be presented...
I am glad you can see where it is leading......which is a great reason to be against the whole idea. They will self-drive one to a FEMA Camp eventually.
Driving law changes launching in June could see petrol and diesel car owners hit with massive fines
Motorists are being warned of new driving law changes set to launch within the coming days which could see petrol and diesel motorists hit with expensive fines for driving in several major UK cities.
Countless driving laws have already been introduced this year including new rules around cars parking on the pavement, regulations for manufacturers to build a minimum number of electric vehicles and number plate changes in March.
With the new rules being introduced over the next month, GB News has rounded up the most important driving law changes in June that could impact you.
Drivers will see new charges introduced on the first day of June with three of the four major Scottish cities will begin charging petrol and diesel motorists to drive as part of the new Low Emission Zones.
People who drive older, more polluting vehicles will be required to pay a daily charge of £60 to drive inside the city centres of Aberdeen, Edinburgh and Glasgow.
All non-compliant vehicles entering a LEZ across Scotland will see them hit with a £60 fine, with the rate doubling for each subsequent breach, capped at £480 for cars and LGVs, while minibuses, buses, coaches and HGVs could see maximum fines of £980.
The minimum criteria include Euro 4 for petrol vehicles (generally registered from 2006 onwards), Euro 6 for diesel (registered from September 2015 onwards) and Euro VI for buses, coaches and HGVs (January 2013 onwards).
Dundee originally introduced its LEZ on May 30, 2022, with a two-year grace period ending on May 30, 2024, giving local residents time to ditch their older, more polluting vehicles for more environmentally friendly cars.
Data from InsureMy found that Edinburgh and Glasgow were being forced to roll out the LEZ schemes despite having the two cleanest air ratings of the 14 major cities across the UK between 2017 and 2024.
Recent research found that Low Emission Zones, like those launching in Scotland, could reduce mental health problems, with higher noise and air pollution leading to more psychotic experiences and depression symptoms, according to the University of Bristol.
From June 1, 2024, new changes to trials will be introduced after the Government allows local authorities around the country to launch new vehicle special orders (VSOs).
This could include introducing new rules to change the geography, fleet size of the scheme and measures to focus on "strategic local objectives".
The Government required new changes to be requested before the end of May, with local authorities being given the green light from the start of June, with VSOs set to expire on May 31, 2026.

It's the Hegelian Dialectic in ACTION. Problem-Reaction-Solution, we already know their solution, ( Taxes, Tyranny etc ) stop buying into the "problem".....C02 is great for plants, they thrive on it...It's like watching the sheep being lead to the slaughter house. If you want to limit travel lets give them vehicles with a limited range....Great!!!
Turkeys voting for Xmas, comes to mind.
Spot-on.
Tyranny by the few over the many.
That about says it all.
