Futurama

gabrielsmy articles 10 Mar 20142 Jun 2026

As the car
in front of us
stopped,
the lanky German
driving our car
indicated
that he was going
to look away
from the road
and slam
on the accelerator.

And he did.

This is how
the future
creeps into
the present.

Taken from the NPR article, By The Time Your Car Goes Driverless, You Won’t Know The Difference, 4 March 2014. By Howie Good.
