When driverless cars are a thing


It won't be long before the whole idea of driving is an antiquated activity. Photo: Shutterstock

Sometimes technology moves too fast to believe. That’s how I felt about Wi-Fi, smartphones and Netflix – advances in tech that changed the way we lived and were adopted into everyday life so fast that it’s hard to believe 10 years before each of them, the world was functioning largely without them.

In an attempt to predict the future, I’m going to say that driverless cars are the next tech innovation that will become so integrated into our lives that we won’t even remember what life was like before them. Which would mean an end to a large and mostly tedious portion of many people’s lives, especially if they live in Kuala Lumpur – because it would mean an end to driving.
