Yes, it is possible to get around much of the Phoenix area in driverless cars.
This seems to be catching on. I see a lot of their cars around.

Death of an Illusion
But the sense of normality was a dangerous illusion. On October 7, Hamas, the Palestinian branch of the Muslim Brotherhood that controls the Gaza Strip, burst out of its lair into Israel and began a systematic slaughter of the population there. Hamas rockets crashed into apartment buildings as far north as the outskirts of Tel Aviv. Hamas fighters shot at anything that moved, murdering civilians, carrying an untold number of Israelis back to Gaza as hostages—whole families have been taken captive. In one day of horror, more than 600 Israelis died, more than 2,000 were injured, and at least 100 vanished into Gaza.
First Paragraph
I am often asked if I would change anything about the Electoral College. My answer has changed over time. Perhaps that is unsurprising. I am older and have seen more of life than that third-year law student who started studying the Electoral College in 2001.

A Nation is a Nation
A nation is not a community. A community is not a neighborhood. A neighborhood is not a family.
You occasionally encounter companies that claim to be "family." The people there may be close, but they are not a family.
Multiply that distinction many times over when you hear of politicians who speak of the nation as a community or a family.
That language may signal the beginning of a political attempt to usurp the obligations and love of real communities and real families.
