The old man will be me in the future. ;)

I believe that driving a car is the last true freedom we have. Which is why I will avoid being forced into a self-driving vehicle as long as I can.

Thanks for the vote of confidence and enjoying my story.

When i was pregnant last year, i heard a man talking on the radio about how babies born this year would probably never know how to drive or at least wouldn't need to learn. I will be the first to admit i would rather have gma in a self driving taxi then driving around with legs she cant feel sometimes! Although i totally understand your point! I would not want to give up that freedom so quickly!

Most kids born 16 years ago will never know how to drive a manual transmission.
They probably will never learn how to change the oil or even a tire.

Sometimes, technology hurts instead of helping.

Fully agree! Most young people don't know the difference between a wheel and a tire and if they do, almost all of their knowledge consists of mechanics and no other self sustainability. Learning to drive a manual is fun and very intimidating as well, you just have to go for it, preferably in a large open field or parking center! One of my fondest memories growing up! I will be sad if i don't get the opportunity to teach my children to drive. To see them sweating and red knuckled on the steering wheel!
