    I prefer 'instrument of Darwinian forces' myself.

    I also think its art is better than the flying car CGI photoshop job.

    The combination of pedestrians using smartphones/listening to iPods and cars becoming increasingly quieter thanks to hybrid/EV is troubling indeed.

    Not sure if SDCs will improve the situation.
    Hey, maybe they can make an app for that........your smartphone/iPod will receive a signal from an oncoming EV:

    Those appear to be just mapping and street view vehicles.

    I think Google's SDC is a Prius.
