Far more dangerous than anything else we really do - certainly more than smoking. And when it&amp;#x27;s no longer a &amp;#x27;necessity&amp;#x27; ...&lt;p&gt;Do you remember those movies before the 1960&amp;#x27;s when they get in cars and they don&amp;#x27;t even have seat-belts - and we &amp;#x27;gasp&amp;#x27; ... &amp;#x27;OMG&amp;#x27; ...&lt;p&gt;I think our grandchildren will gasp when we tell them we drove cars. They will think we were crazy and uncivilized, we&amp;#x27;ll call them wimps.&lt;p&gt;You&amp;#x27;ll want to teach your grandson to drive, your daughter in law will be upset and call you a crazy old man :)</text></comment>

The fear of cars is not &amp;quot;old school&amp;quot; but very much real. This is not to mention the aggression that drivers go and build up in their small bubbles. I am always prepared to get off my bike and take them up on their threatening offers. I look forward to less aggressive, more responsive computer-controlled vehicles.</text></comment>
