Pixar's Cars Prediction, by Phillip Miller

I apologize for the change in topic but this was too sticking to leave for another time
When are we going to design cars that can speak and hear?
We can do so much with technology these days why not design our traveling bodies with their own mouth and ears. We already have cars that can see......
Cars house our minds nearly as much as our bodies do, it would only make sense to start to design them with as much capabilities as our bodies.....and then some. This topic was sparked inside of me while trying to navigate myself through a car park/ shopping center in North Carolina.
There were not any sidewalks, pathways or pedestrian crosswalks. I felt as though the entire plaza was designed purely for the mobility of cars and not people. I must say though, the plaza well very well landscaped so that made it ok.
It was unbelievable. The day was beautiful and sunny. Not too cold and not too hot, just right. There was not a soul outside unless they were walking to their cars. Everyone jumped out of their cars ran over to where they were about to spend some of their oh so scarce green and then run back into their little safe zones on wheels.
This was a beautiful state with vast amounts of open space all ready to be used for sports and activities but no. Everyone chose to spend their Sunday hiding form the sun and the world outdoors that has not already been processed and deep fried for them.
