@ BlackArcher
You were saying to stop using space-age technology as the basis for why this could/will work. I'm saying you are carrying space-age technology around in your pocket.
I don't think anyone's saying it'll happen overnight, but we're not as far off from that capability as someone like yourself makes it seem. My phone can pinpoint a Car2Go within a few feet of where it is. You're telling me that if every car used a similar GPS and were linked with each other that something like this couldn't work? Maybe it starts with as soon as you exit onto a high-speed/high-traffic road, the computer kicks in and evolves from there.
Someone such as yourself seems to use the complexity of the issue as a reason that it won't or shouldn't happen at all. It's the same issue I have with people in regards to fossil fuel vs alternatives. "It's too expensive/inconvenient to implement on a wide scale, so lets just not."
I understand people who love driving, I enjoy it myself. I don't think old-fashioned cars will ever go away, but they will end up much more as art pieces than anything else.
As someone who is 25, I can definitely see this type of thing going down in my lifetime.
