Was this shit written by Andy Rooney on a typewriter?

"When automobiles drive themselves, for example, their human passengers will not become masters of a new form of urban freedom, but rather a fuel to drive the expansion of connected cities, in order to spread further the gospel of computerized automation." What the hell does this even mean?

This means that automated cars will have people commute from further away instead of everyone living downtown and sharing taxi-style automated cars.
