“I only regret that I have but one face to palm for my country.”

Friday, January 09, 2015

Let it not be too soon.

"Eventually, the sports car could become confined to a small niche of passionate fans, revving their engines and testing their speed on dedicated circuits.

It is up to the top automakers around the world together with tech leaders to produce autonomous, driverless cars for public use, and the day they enter general use is coming soon.
...
The war on speeding in developed countries; changes in consumer interests, with a new generation more focused on electronic gadgets; and more eco-friendly thinking also pose obstacles for performance sports car fans."

*glances at calendar* Only a couple decades left to go, thank heavens. It's almost enough to make one want to take up smoking again just to hurry things along.
