> The current administration in the U.S. was / is considering a tax per mile driven That's one solution to the problem of carbon/petrol taxes not being viable when cars run on batteries, but still use roads. You either maintain roads usning other tax revenue (meaning non-drivers are subsidizing drivers and there is no incentive to limit road use) or you find another way to fund road maintenance. This isn't exactly an authoritarian surprise nightmare, it's expected and natural. > [Antivax rambling] I'll just ignore that part
