Default Interesting Article On How Cars Took Over the Road

This 4 year old article finally appeared in the U. S. media with little attempt to hide the plagiarism:

https://www.bbc.com/news/magazine-26073797

This is interesting from a political POV:

Someone living in the U. S. today, for example, might think that the combination of the new technology and the money to afford the new technology would be enough for motorists to run everyone else off the street _without_ any political work or organization whatsoever. This has certainly been true with info tech today and it was always true for aviation, i.e., planes landing on highways, no regulation of drones even today, etc.

But that wasn't the case a century ago. Apparently all human life was respected back then. Motorists had to get organized to run everyone else off the road!
