Random thoughts on electric (and other) cars.

Autonomous cars, electric cars, and Apple (not necessarily in any logical order)
Mankind, have started dreaming of self-driving cars, maybe even before the invention of the car itself, maybe because back then, people who could afford a private vehicle (where you have horses at the front, driver in the middle, and the VIP cabin in the back); they never thought of driving as an aristocratic activity.
The early ideas were something very technologically-advanced back then (very primitive now), like implementing some sort of metal conductors that will follow signals from wires along the road, so the car will drive in that lane like a robot (see General Motors concept car here).
