There's a sick cosmic irony in flying to space on the rockets of your former competitors. Considering the cool stuff NASA was doing with Apollo there isn't an excuse for not having a moon base by now.
I always find the mentality that a car makes you independent funny. You're quite dependent on oil companies, new parts, and the government to maintain an infrastructure on which you drive. Not to mention you're going to be following regulations about how you can operate the vehicle.
I use public transit every day in Indianapolis, which is one of the worst public transit systems in the world, and don't have any problems. I'm never late for anything; I know people with cars who can't even manage that.
Fines aren't high enough. Make them proportional to income, like they do in Germany. Ha! Imagine Bill Gates III going down I-5 on his phone while at the wheel and receiving a fine for $10 Billion.
The real question is what kind of smartphone is BGIII using?

Oh you mean you cant spy on people. How is that bad?
One that runs Linux. But not Ubuntu.
There's nothing inherently wrong with that as long as you are actually going to be able to pay it back.
Oracle? Evil? Never!
The nook can also run Linux if I'm not mistaken.
Only GB?
I guess that America's obesity problem has extended to software.
A family show? I guess if your idea of family fun is goatse and frosty piss.
95% of the people on Slashdot would be trying to run Linux on their retinal implant.
Fracking, natural gas, and health risks. Slashdot don't let me down.
Sorry commies, but only the Allies can have the weather control device. Go play with your nuke and iron curtain.
But what if the brain uses hypervisors?
Some rooms have 2 doors on the same side of the wall.
Without data to back that claim up you have a nice little anecdote to be added to the pile.

Bullshit. The driver can easily sign a liability waver so the manufacturer isn't responsible. I bet in your world ISPs are responsible for piracy.
The airplane ones are tiny. Buses have lots of overhead room, the compartments could be 2-3x larger.
Public transit needs those overhead compartments airplanes have.

When public transit lets met make my 5 minute McDonalds run without any delay, I'll use it
FTFY.
wtf is mediated murder, is it having a 3rd party supervise the operation?

We also need mandatory minimal sentences of 25 to life in max security prisons. That will show those distracted drivers.
That might still be difficult, there's a metric ton of retconning in that series.
