Traffic

Can we imagine what the traffic will be like then?

Could anyone 100 years ago imagine the traffic today?

The cars look different!

I used to live in western Ct. I remember driving on I-84 east of Hartford when it was a two lane road back in 65. I also drove on I-495 the week it opened. I drove from I-93 to Rte 20 and didn't see a car either direction. It didn't hook up to I-90 at the time.

I see driverless cars, probably with no ground contact either. No accidents, no road rage and smooth flow at 150 kph. With no ground contact, no road wear and tear, no snowplow hold ups and no road salt into our water table. Fire trucks will still be red. They will still need the dog to find the hydrant.

I can't wait for driverless cars. I could see myself taking a nap on a long ride.
