The idea of sitting in a car… that drives itself… sounds like something from a sci-fi movie, right? 🤖 But here we are. Self-driving cars already exist. They stop at red lights, change lanes, park better than I ever could 😅 and some people actually use them daily.
Part of me is amazed. Imagine: I could sit back, sip my coffee, answer messages, or just stare out the window while the car does the work. No stress, no traffic fights, no GPS yelling at me, “Turn left now!” 😄
But the other part of me feels… uncomfortable. I mean, how do I trust a machine more than I trust myself? What if it glitches? What if it doesn’t "feel" danger the way I do?
Driving is not just about getting from point A to B. It’s about freedom. Control. That little joy of pressing the pedal, choosing your own path. Can a robot ever understand that?
Still, I wonder… Maybe the day will come when I’ll just sit in a car, say, “Take me to the sea,” and it’ll take me there — no hands, no stress, just the road and silence.
Would you try that? Or do you prefer to keep your hands on the wheel — literally and in life? 😊
