More on autonomous cars

I do not believe that level 5 autonomous cars i.e cars that can drive anywhere and don't even have a steering wheel, will be possible if they share the roads with human driven cars. They'll need their own roads, or at least their own lanes. Even then they won't make an appearance for many years yet.

Level 4 cars that are restricted to certain areas and are not suitable for inclement weather conditions will be vastly easier to achieve. But, even here, sharing roads with human drivers is perhaps an insurmountable challenge.

Every one of us will be forgotten

A 100 years from now in 2119 I will have been long dead. No-one will remember me. Nothing I wrote will have survived. It'll be as if I never existed. It'll be the same for nearly all of us. Indeed, eventually time renders us all anonymous.

Exploring the Future

Wouldn't it be great if for the rest of one's life, one could travel forward in time 100 years every week. So I go forward in time to 2119, spend a week enjoying the sights, then get whisked forward another 100 years to 2219 and spend another week there, and so on. It would be very interesting.

I'd end up dying around the year 4,000 . .well . .probably before then if the Earth become uninhabitable, or I annoy the natives by disregarding social rules and norms.
