Featured A futuristic solution to Highway congestion

Nothing wrong with what you want. Some folks like being the passenger, some folks like to be in control...that's all

 

I haven't trotted this out in a while:

 

So..... you're agreeing with the overall point? That a tightly controlled, regulated system with levels of automation and dependence on advanced technology works?

 

I think it's going to take a multi-faceted approach. For starters: where are all these cars going? Can we take a look at this nine-to-five, 5 days a week drive to the office ethic? And wrest the steering wheel death-grip from a few more folks, get onto transit? The future is not gonna be like the Jetsons, at least I hope not.

 

push button meals? why not?

 

City planners are culpible: all these out-in-the-boonies big-box store ghettos.

A lot of grocery stores in our area are now offering web shopping: you tell them what you want, some workers tool around the store with a buggy (and a device with your shopping list). It's apparently catching on. They'll shop like you would, cherry-picking produce.

Not for us, any time soon. And our groceries are just a toodle down the road. I do find I'm ordering more and more stuff via Amazon though, saves a lot of running around.

 

no doubt whole foods new owners will be offering than and more. probably delivered by drone.

 

Everything's delivered by drones now...

 

maybe priuschat could use some to deliver a solid product.

Priceless

 

I sometimes kill two birds with one stone by parking my cart in the corner of the store and walk by/forth for each item. Get in a lot more steps in that way without dealing with weather. I basically adapted the mall-walker idea to grocery shopping.

 

nice, but prefer mccartney.
