What happened to Rhode Island?!SNIP
And I'm guessing that the NYC Metro Area and Long Island successfully became their own state? Interesting subject about the future, I never gave car ownership much thought. Very nice!

Car ownership laws as of 2100.
Blue = Private ownership of manually driven cars banned
Red = Private ownership of manually driven cars requires special purchase permit and driver's license
Yellow = No restrictions on privately owned manually driven cars; license only.
Automatic cars generally do not require a license to drive, but you must be 18 or older to purchase one (16 w/ cosigning from guardian). Public or private ride services (such as UberLyft or Google Taxi) have no age restrictions.
Note: New York City bans the private ownership of all cars, manual or automatic. Ban is currently under review in federal court.
Not mine, but worth a look. Another caveman themed map from Jay Simons on Deviantart.

Not cars, manually driven cars. The idea is that autonomous cars become ubiqutious (and effective at preventing accidents) to the point where people question if manual cars are even needed. Gradually, driver's licenses are eliminated as a requirement to own an autonomous car; this evolves to manually driven cars being banned in many states because are they are seen as unnecessary and dangerous.Woah is this some future dystopia in which cars are banned? Interesting concept I'll say.
Great Arc finish! Curious to see if you continue on in that TL or not.
From my timeline, a map of the Tribes of Yisrael:
Another WIP I'm working on. And before you ask; yes, this is supposed to be ASB.
when will someone post a real world map/TL that isn't a dystopia for once?

So… a dystopia, then.
Holy! Will there be Sinowank BTW?

Not to self-promote too much, but generally the maps I post aren't dystopian, and usually as close the opposite as realism will allow.when will someone post a real world map/TL that isn't a dystopia for once?
Really, it sounds like the opposite of dystopia. Considering tens of thousands of Americans are killed in car wrecks every year, with far more injured in various ways, safer self-driving cars seems like they'd be a good future to step into. Though I personally would allow people to still drive, but hopefully only after intensive and rigorous testing that keeps people off the road who would otherwise cause fatalities.Seems like slowly changing social values in a world where self driving cars are the norm and the safety and necessity of car ownership is questionable. I imagine everybody is travelling around in a high tech public transport system with a variety of options.
Some absurd CSA(?)-wank after a Peshawar Lancers event hit the USA in 1861-62? Or who is that wanked *Oceania, where did that originate?
