"New Jersey's governor Christie has decided that all new motor vehicles must be sold through middlemen. This blocks Tesla from directly selling cars, without traditional car sellers. Although, New Jersey decided so this week, they are in good company: 48 states in the US ban or restrict direct car sales."

    Most traffic on the road will be delivery trucks

    Probably drones delivering everything. Possibly it'll be a mobile warehouse (perhaps a train) that just move out from urban center to urban center while drones pickup packages from it to be drop off in your backyard or at a designated pickup location while the warehouse travels to the next location to be reloaded.

    Remember the future is fine and dandy until one of those little quad-copters drops a car on your kids in their backyard kiddy pool. Stop the needless toddler squishing, put your pool in the front yard.

    Drones will not be doing this. Fagedaboutit.
    It makes a much sense as flying cars, (when every fender bender becomes a vehicle death).
    Not happening. People don't want loud drones buzzing overhead all the time, (or the subsequent gunfire that will follow them).
