Their late-90s Ford was a clunker, yet they replaced it with a Ford? I guess it's good for me that some people never learn.

In 'Gold Rush mentality,' demand for cars peaked in July and could fall to pre-Clunkers levels next week, report says.....

I am encouraged by the list of cars that Deejayoh posted above; people actually are trading in gas-guzzling SUVs for much smaller, fuel-efficient cars. Many of the cars on the list are ones that I recommend people go look at if in the market for a new smaller car. And it hurts not my feelings to see those Ford Exploders imbibe the liquid death! :lol:

And just in my own observations of what people are driving and what types of vehicles I see parked at my workplace, I'd say that there are significantly more cars than SUVs, as compared to say 5-10 years ago. That is encouraging. Not that I'm anti-SUV, but for most people who commute alone to work daily, there are better vehicle choices. I'm very happily getting 36-38mpg commuting in my '97 Civic.

Any predictions on when the program runs out of $ again? I'm guessing the end of September.

WestSideBilly, all of the problems you mention with the concept of a fully-automated highway system can be worked out over time. Difficult technical challenges will be solved, costs will come down, and piece-by-piece, the system will come into place.

I never said it would happen quickly. I wouldn't be surprised to see it in my lifetime, but I'm not necessarily expecting that we'll get there in the next 75 years.

I am an electrical engineer though, so I probably tend to have a fairly optimistic view of what's achievable through dedication and applied brainpower, given enough time.
