What does "even if 20 years go by before Americans trade in their driver’s licenses" mean?
SF highlights social and cultural changes, identifying how technology is changing society and culture. Here I must mention a new subscription service called Scout, which is using SF to help analyze current tech trends. Recently, it talked about how American cities are unprepared for self-driving cars. Scout argued even if 20 years go by before Americans trade in their driver’s licenses, the fact that only one out of every 17 cities is even thinking about self-driving cars is shocking. What makes Scout different from other tech media is that it uses short fiction to help explore the ramifications (结果) of technologies.
