“You've gotta dance like there's nobody watching,
Love like you'll never be hurt,
Sing like there's nobody listening,
And live like it's heaven on earth.”
― William W. Purkey

Systems become less reliable as they age --
Scenario:
car companies and (all companies) want built in sales forecasts, standardized products....
Government decides self driving cars are satistically safer than Joe/Joan Lunchbox driving while texting, drunk, old....
Self driving is mandated except Sundays 8AM-6PM for all you "collector car guys".
More and more self driver crashes make the news..
Car companies tell government "reliably goes out the window at 36 months" for self drivers
government issues you a car -- white four door, 25 airbags, no driver controls....
car companies get - built in demand, standard configuration, no more Eddie Bauer interiors, zillion options = headaches on the line
government gets: to decide who gets a car, how far you can drive /emit CO2...where you can live
Paradise!
Hmmmm.....
What's the problem!??
