What have you done for 'ME' lately?

I note new study-findings indicate that American 'road rage' is on the increase. Well, I'm afraid it will likely get worse before getting better. Look, American people have evolved over the past few generations to assume and expect instant gratification. We have arrived at a Utopian belief that 'ME' IS UNO NUMBER ONE! We should be first in line, first to be served and satisfied.

 Here's the good news: Over the next decade, the American public is going to be teased with the promise and development of the auto-pilot vehicle; the driver-less automobile. The driving-machine that will re-define the leisurely Sunday afternoon family outing. Yes sir, this car is going to switch lanes, speed up, slow down and do whatever else is needed based upon surrounding traffic.

Here's the bad news: Americans are depending upon the same auto industry technology that brought us vehicles, which sped up when brakes were applied. Cars that have airbags deploy without cause...And autos with faulty ignition switches causing fires. Now, the operative theory is design and manufacture a headless, brainless missile that travels at high speeds through a maze of human life on auto-pilot. All for the glorification and service of 'ME!'

While the automakers are at the 'drawing board,' they would well serve the public by creating 'robot fighting-men' to deploy from the auto to engage in road-rage confrontation, after all you cannot blame mishaps on the humans riding in auto-pilot vehicles. The young kids were watching television, the teens were texting while mom and dad were playing Pokemon Go.
