“The Jetsons had them in the 1960s. They were the defining element of 'Knight Rider' in the 1980s: cars that drive themselves. Self-driving cars appear in countless science fiction movies.

Consequently, we cannot afford to turn to the radio, television, or Hollywood to take our cues about what is right and what is wrong.
