I know what cars are.

The key point is not about cars, it is about our reliance on technology - the technological trap we are in, as explained by Jams Burke 30 years ago...

From 22:35 - the trap... "whoever looks that close ?" But watch the whole thing.



If a key technology fails then what do you do ?
