Drive

For the better part of the twentieth century to present day, learning how to drive has been a rite of passage for many in western society with eventual automobile ownership considered for some an extension of themselves. With the onset of autonomous vehicles, the skill of driving may become a lost art with some predicting that not only will autonomous vehicles one day dominate the roadways, but that the act of driving may be banned altogether in taking the "dangerous" human element out of the equation. A diverse range of individuals at various stages of their driving life rhapsodize about what driving means to them and their connection to driving and human driven vehicles, and thus their fear of what that loss of being able to drive would mean for themselves and for society.
