Science Fiction Inventions, Technology and Ideas

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.
