Self driving cars.
We are on the early stages currently; ignore what Tesla/musk says; in 10 - 20 years full level 5 autonomy will be common place.
In the 80's the Cray 1 supercomputer was made, now I have so much more computer power in my pocket its frankly ridiculous. And it's runs on milliwatts rather than kilowatts.
I came here to say this, well played.

So the knee jerk reaction to cancel the ~$3B project that would have given us new bigger, better ferries and NEW TERMINALS.
To now look at spending ~$1.8B on two smaller ferries, we will still need to upgrade the ports.
Great move, cancel an existing contract for two ferries at $551M each, to now look to spend $900M each on two less capable boats.
Idiots.
That doesn't really make much sense.
But look on the bright side. At least we won't know how much smoking uptake has increased.
My partner took an "anonymous" survey at work once.
When the results came out, it categorised the results. Site, m/f/o, role.

Other than pulp fiction, I don't rate any of his movies.
I'm the helmet, my family is the cat.
The same way we do.
Slow down; drive by feel; look to the sides for trees, sign posts, other markers, knowing the roads.
