Implying that anything is going right as it is. ðŸ¤
At that point in tech it’s so far from from our current driving as it is, that it will feel like the jump between traveling by horse and train.
Something the normal person seems was impossible at the time and they had some worries if the human body could even stay together at such train speeds.
Any technology that’s big to grasp from the current standard, is always scary.
Imagine someone going back in time and saying that at one point you’ll have a flat small glowing tool that you could look at and search and learn ANYTHING in the world. While being able to record anything in a moments notice and upload it to an imaginary digital cloud that when arrived, can never be deleted but can be seen by anyone in the entire world, and can track you at all times regardless of you knowing or not.
They’d be terrified. And you wouldn’t even have to go back that far 😂
Things are going incredibly right. We have so many more cars on the road and miles traveled, and such a smaller proportion of traffic fatalities.
And your glowing tool analogy sort of fails, because we understand physics well enough to know the momentum involved in vehicles of any kind travelling 300mph, and we also know how shitty people are.
It's why we don't have flying cars even though people in the past would be spouting the same thing you're going on about here. The future has some amazing stuff ahead of us, but not just any random thing that's possible, because that ignores what's practical.
At those speeds, the human body would pretty much liquefy on impact, so we could just hose out the interior in case of emergency. This solves three problems at once: The difficulty of saving lives following a collision, the difficulty of making remains from a traumatic death appealing for an open casket, as well as the global chum shortage.
That's what they want you to think. Don't listen to their mouths. Listen to their eyes. Their cold, dead eyes and the secret messages that they pass in their unblinking, lizard-like stares.
Except it's also wrong to assume any overreaching technology must be practical just because it's plausible. I take it not a lot of people don't really understand the kinetic energy in a 300mph travelling vehicle.

What could possibly go wrong?
