Will our kids get a drivers license? Will they even need one???
So, as I watch the incredible advancements for self driving cars I can’t help but think about what this may mean for our kids. I remember my first car, a crappy Chevy Spectrum I got from my mom.

For the longest time, the media has had us looking in the wrong direction. We’ve had our eye out for flying cars, time travel and our robot overlords but when they didn’t show up we thought, “Thanks a lot Technology! I guess it will never happen”. From Terminators to Marty McFly, every time someone talks about any futuristic technology, we immediately think “been there, done …
