While we're at it, how 'bout cars being forced to follow traffic laws with built-in electronic
sensors triggered by stop signs/lights, speed-limit signs, etc. All the driver does is steer and
even that's electronically controlled to prevent tailgating, etc. I think we'll see this in our
lifetimes because what we have now is completely out of control.

I don't know how many people here know that you used to be the much acclaimed tech editor for
"Bicycling" magazine. And back then, when Jim Langley spoke, people listened. As I know they
should now!!
With all the other controls being factored into our lives by the government, why is something such
as who you propose not the logical next step?
This is too prophetic!! WoW!!
