    I tend to end up reflecting on how we are still going way faster than I could ever bike.
Yeah, it's remarkable to me how people will almost always go over the speed limit, no matter what. If the speed limit is 70, people think 75-80mph is reasonable. If it's 80mp, people would think 85 or 90 was reasonable. Why is there always the need to go faster than the limit posted? I haven't gotten a speeding ticket in years (knock on wood), but this is because I don't aggressively speed anymore. What's the use? To shave off 5-10 minutes off of a long drive? Big deal.

    I'm not sure how I feel about self driving ai though
-As a father I hope my children never get behind a wheel like we do today. I'm all for AI, especially for those impaired.
