Really? You Cannot Be Serious

First, the motor voter law has NOT accounted for the increase in registered voters. Multiple studies have shown that to be a fallacy.

Second, the idea we become more passive is silly in an era marked by information overloaded and time-starved people. Self-diving vehicles will become an added home or office room, or a place to party and entertain.

Third, nostalgia for an ID in a world where everything we do leaves a personalized digital trail, and self-driving vehicles know who the passengers are and can access their digital trail, amounts to a solution looking for a problem.

There are concerns with self-driving vehicles — e.g., terrorists, poor— that warrant attention. But an argument that they will lead to losing civic engagement is not one of them.
