The question is about social control. The Antifa or current version of authoritarian Marxists want to make the whole world a Third World nation under their direct control. California is dealing with leftist thinking policy makers but can't provide enough power or water as it is; historical inevitability is the myth. As of Friday the water tunnel project was abandoned. The high speed rail project that was supposed to have been completed Sept. 30 is nowhere near done. Gov. Brown wants to ban ICE vehicles in 10 years. That does not consider there are no electric farm tractors available. Open sewers in the homeless camps of San Diego county has lead to an outbreak of hepatitis A. Just to make things more interesting the California primary voting has been moved to March in 2018. The desirability of single payer government healthcare is grossly overrated. Nice for urgent care but not major procedures. I have been rereading my Peter Drucker book on management, "The Essential Drucker" by Elizabeth H. Edersheim. It is the antidote for socialism.
As for technology I expect more hybrid electric velomobiles and autonomous vehicles to minimize the Infinite Queues aka traffic jams. Use a velo uni body and a go kart drive train to make a 500 mpg highway ride.
