LOL this is a new one to me. Fear of pulling up to a pump and making a very easy choice?! I keep my tank above half full. I'm afraid of the apocalypse coming down when my car is out of gas! For a while there, when things looked very bleak to me, I had two cars that I kept full. I figured I could drive almost 1000 miles on those two tanks of gas if I had to.
I do know quite a few people who will drive around and around looking for a parking spot that they don't have to parallel park in. Is this similar?
I also love to parallel park. I find it fun to see if I can get it exactly right in one swoop.
Is there something wrong with me?
I wonder if these gas-averse people will have an easier time with self-driving cars. Technology to their rescue. Oh wait, they still have to get out of the car, figure out which buttons to push etc. That people can't do this without heart palpitations scares the crap out of me. I wonder what happens to them in a voting booth.
:D
I fill up when it is cheap. It is crazy here, there are 10-15% swings across the week.
They mentioned this too. 96% of people were anxious - but not everyone avoided it. I don't avoid parallel parking, I see it as a challenge :)
I suspect so. But, like most of the technology, it also means they will have lower driving skills, because they aren't driving. Maybe a good thing in the case of driving, but it is happening to all of our skills. It is like the people in the movie Wall-E
I didn't see that movie. Looked it up
These are topics for a children's movie?! Propaganda I'd call it, early indoctrination.
I see parallel parking as a challenge, too. I math and physics puzzle. I really like to do it, and now with a back-up camera in my car, it is easy as can be to do. I like driving in general, time to think and sing. I do like being a passenger so I can look around, I do not trust that kind of technology. I'll be in control of my body as much as I can, thank you.
It is a cute movie with a cute robot that protects a plant to save humanity :)
