>>975237My work requires me to carry about half a ton or so of electrical equipment with me at all times. I keep a 1 ton company van at home to do this & drive anywhere within a roughly 30mi radius of my work center.
Assuming you want to keep enjoying things like internet, electricity, working trains, etc this is impractical. You would need to keep those roads open for people like me to maintain/service the systems you take for granted or civilization would just fall back 100 years. And if we're allowed to drive, somebody is going to have to maintain those roads. You're going to need money, and the only sure way to get it is to allow other people to drive & pay for those roads through services offered by a DMV.
Self-driving hydrogen fueled cars are what we need.
