Not so long ago it was unthinkable that Americans might be deprived of personal automobiles.

Today, it is probable that we will be.

Self-driving cars, the growing ride-sharing services, the environmental susurration that sotto voce whispers dire consequences of the industry, and effects of personal transportation, all concatenate in the subconscious minds, and not so subconscious, of millenials, and might suddenly erupt in forcing everyone into self-driving, publicly owned transportation.

Little might deprive free people of their sole agency more than being limited to public transportation.

It was safe to compare various statistics trumpeted in the enemedia as horrifying and lethal to the unchallengable automobile industry. It isn't anymore.

What do you think of this terrible possibility? I hope that the hundreds of thousands that are killed every year by medical error and malpractice might better serve as a comparison than our increasingly tenuous grasp of the essential liberty that is private transport.

Thanks!
