Remember that line at the end of Back to the Future where Doc Brown says "
Roads? Where we're going, we don't need roads." Sadly, he was referring to a 2015 utopia that will never materialize (I'm keeping my fingers crossed for those fly clothes, though). Instead, where we live today, you can't even use the roads. See below - that's after I paid my taxi driver a little sumthin'-sumthin' to make his own lane in that little thing we call the "desert".
