⚡️💬 WATCH - Ford CEO Jim Farley thinks that humans want to master driving & take pride in trying to master it.
"It's a skill. I worry about how much autonomy is the right level of autonomy before we start losing the basic skills of awareness in a car; Autonomy can't substitute good driving"

Driving a vehicle controlled only by yourself is part of the personal sovereignty stack IMHO, we just don't talk about it much because it's currently the norm, but it won't always be.
I plan to always have at least one vehicle that isn't connected to any networks and I can 100% control.
If US politicians took the US constitution seriously, I’d say we need an amendment for this.
But it’s a piece of paper to them. I anticipate eventually non-autonomous cars are banned in most major cities and suburbs by 2040. Country side it’ll be longer
"I plan to always have at least one vehicle that isn't connected to any networks and I can 100% control."
Yeah I have that -- it's called a "bicycle."
Not your keys, not your car.
The freedom of the open road is something to behold.
How about you to ride a car controlled by an digital AI entity created by yourself? Could be a further type of sovereignty!!
Knowing how to drive is a good skill to have. That being said, personal automobility has only ever equaled freedom in an environment where big government funnels massive subsidies into car-oriented infrastructure, forces private property owners to provide a minimum number of parking stalls, and enforces strict low-density single-use zoning rules.
The incentive provided by government to own a car has been powerful enough to shape an entire culture. It's so perverse that even the most freedom-minded among us think having multiple viable choices for how to move around our cities constitutes a loss of freedom.
