I suspect in 100 years people will speak about how we used to manually drive cars and police would regularly close down roads for hours as they cleaned up bodies and investigated accidents and youth will cringe trying to understand how that was ever a thing as a line of automated vehicles drive along in perfect unison like an amusement park ride.
