Ballad for Driver-less Dreamers

Dear Alphabet and Tesla too,
And indeed anybody who,
Is building an automobile,
That truly drives itself (for real).

It’s been more than a few years now,
That I’ve been wondering just how,
Long until I will get to see,
A car that (for real) can drive me.

“What a time to be alive!
Perhaps I’ll never need to drive!”
I told myself some years ago,
Though now I’m thinking: for real? No.

It’s just a dream, and distant too,
Maybe (for real) it could come true,
But for now, put those dreams to rest;
It’s time to sit my driving test.

😞
