Two years from now, I will probably have to do the same for my stepson. But six years from now, when Minifob is 16? It'll be 2022. And Minifobette won't be driving until 2024. I predict that neither one of them will ever really have to learn to drive.
Bullshit, how long before all the 250+ million cars out there now are off the road? These self driving wonder cars can't be trusted until that's all there are on the road, and the driver should be competent enough to know when the cars are fucking up, because they are machines and they do fuck up.

They are not 100% perfect. So they cannot be trusted. So we should all still drive Model Ts - since they do not have these problems.

Thank god we have the word troglodyte to protect us from evil innovators.

One person was electrocuted this decade. So we should ban all electricity. Donald Trump said so. It must be true.
