Dystopian flipside; it then becomes impossible to use the roads (and thus, travel other than by foot, struggling through unmaintained footpaths and dirt trails; many places simply impossible to get to on foot) for anything not approved by society. Your insurance company gets a say in where you go to eat. Google and chums get a say in where you go to shop. You pay extra to get to your destination sooner. You ask to go to one bar but get dropped off at another; one that paid to have you delivered there. I wonder which of these will come true. Some of them, in part, I'm fairly confident of.
