[QUOTE="Simeon_Strangelight, post: 1179228, member: 6783"] That sounds about right. There was a great SF TV series from New Zealand named - This is not my life: [MEDIA=youtube]KEehuATK4v0[/MEDIA] What was more interesting than the mind-altering tech shown was the lifestyle of the people. The folk had only access to electric cars of very limited range and they were mostly self-driving - of course under full surveillance with only a given carbon-quota. Self-driving cars will come sooner or later - and it will be simply much more expensive to drive your car on your own. Some people will probably still want to do it, but would have to pay extra for insurance. Also many have missed the fact that some European countries like Netherlands will only sell electric cars within 2030. California will follow suit in 2040.
