    Yeah no wörries being pedantic about it is for me, really.

    I’d think EV’s would be perhaps about as easy, or easier… in theory. But in practice idk if they always have actual hydraulic brakes. I’d still think they do, even if there’s also regenerative braking.

    But for electric cars maybe it would be model based basically. Hell probably at some point the steering wheel and pedals will be wireless so you can change sides when crossing from left-driving traffic to the right and back. Then kids would drive from the backseat as a dare. If we’ll even let humans drive in the future. I know automated driving is shit currently, but I was thinking of living for a while yet.

    I’m thinking at some point it will probably be that you’ll need to hand over driving to a computer whilst in a city or smth. Then can only drive yourself outside city centers. That could help with traffic. I believe there’s already large semitrucks or something which can sort of link in a convoy so only the first truck’s driver controls the speed and steering and whatnot, the others are computer controlled in order to minimise braking and fuel consumption etc.
