This is a great TED talk.
Why you should listen to this TED talk.
1. You were a kid once.
2. You still have that child inside you – it affects your daily life – whether you want it to or not.
3. What she says is not the answer – but there is no answer without at least considering what she says.

Google cars and ever been caught speeding???
Well I know we are all good, law abiding citizens. And we all stick to the speed limits – don’t we?
OK – I admit – that, on occasion, against my will and certainly not intentionally, the vehicle I have been driving – or rather has been driving me, may have, unintentionally, indiscreetly and sadly – travelled at a velocity above that permitted on the road on which I was travelling.
It sure is hard to stick to a 60 MPH limit when it is the middle of the night and no other traffic on the road. It sure is hard when I am desperate to get to the nearest toilet. It sure is hard when I am under stress to get to my next appointment. It sure is hard when the machine in which I am sitting has this thing called an accelerator – which allows me to go faster…
And don’t we all like to go faster?
When we arrive somewhere – especially a long journey – isn’t about the first thing that the people we are visiting ask – how was the journey? How long did it take you?
So I welcome the new Google car – automatic driving – someone else in control – no longer responsible for any accelerators, no longer worried about how long the journey will take – and no longer worried about radar traps or sleeping policemen, or pedestrian crossings – I can just snooze or read and get out as stress free as I go in (or on).
