The rise of affordable automobiles in the early 20th century led to an increase in personal mobility that was unprecedented in human history. Most of us suddenly had the ability to travel vastly longer distances anytime we wanted to, no longer encumbered by the limits of human endurance. Among the many pluses and minuses of the automobile was the ability to get further away from civilization and get off the grid. The world is now on the verge of another mobility transformation with vehicles that communicate and drive themselves and getting disconnected from the world may become increasingly difficult.
