I had to go to this research center few years ago. They were developing self braking buses. They spent millions just to find out that, it wasn't a good idea in London. Not only did every car, lorry and taxi cut the bus up. But pedestrians would happily walk out in front of the bus, knowing they weren't gonna get ran over. I told them it was a shyte idea, they wouldn't listen till we took it on a test drive through the west end.

Milton Keynes was quite sparse back when i got buses, fields even around the shopping mall, so it seemed a good idea to use lots of vans instead of the few double-deckers that were never filled. These vans were cosy, and it wasn't unusual to find oneself standing up front to get a space on the thing, during busy times. Cue chats with the driver. These days, though i have little experience of buses, it seems the driver is irrelevant anyway, locked away in a shielded area. No conductor, it's just a vandal-proof room. A padded cell, literally, and it's every man for himself on there. What difference would it make, autonomous..? What difference to the school kids? They school in cages now, after all. Bars on class windows. Get rid of the teachers, just give them a tablet. Make sure there are no sharp edges. The future is a souless padded playground - and these driverless buses are right on time.

Someone is obsessed. Wonder what ''Liam'' looks like. As he is an almost complete non entity whose existence seems to revolve around me, I guess we will never know. |
