I don't see how they could make it mandatory.
You're going to tell poor people that they HAVE to buy a new car? How? if you have no money.
And junk their priceless classic.
I just don't see how that would fly. And I live in California where nothing makes sense.
As far as drinking and driving. No one likes to go to the bar and pound a few, more than me, but I already have an automated ride home. It's called a taxi....or an angry wife.
I prefer the taxi. They don't yell at me.
I just drove 200 miles yesterday, and what struck me was just the sheer stupidity of some of the other people on the road. Passing on blind curves.
Idiots like that are just ammunition for the Automated car jerks that want to shove everything down your throat.
As for me, I'm not riding down the interstate in some roller coaster that I have no control over.
I know how to drive, I've been doing it a long time.
