Science Fiction Inventions, Technology and Ideas
"Very often we see screaming headlines
in our favorite daily paper announcing “man killed by reckless driver” or “four injured in head-on auto crash,” or something similar.
"It is not difficult to secure a license to drive a car. All that is necessary is for the applicant to be seventeen years of age or over and pass a simple written and road test.

"You will find this story absorbing from the first line to the last, and so convincing that you can easily picture it as a true narrative of the future."
