America lost its love of more than just the stick shift. I regularly find myself around people who just simply can’t drive safely. They don’t use their mirrors, they don’t know how to stop rapidly in emergency situations; I’m not surprised no one drives a manual anymore. On top of this, we pretty much hand out drivers licenses like fucking flyers in this country. Just stand in line and earn yours. If you’ve ever been on a road in Europe you’ll see a dramatically different scenario. Free flowing traffic, everyone seems to see everyone else around them; people are paying attention and know their cars. The market for automated vehicles is ripe because we’re fucking morons behind the wheel, and somehow we’re ok with that.
