Right out of the gates he starts lecturing about "Target Zero", the goal of that "Governor over in Olympia" who wants to reduce traffic fatalities down to zero. The governor evidently "likes the Europeans" and their drivers licensing laws...a point brought up repeatedly throughout the night. {I really wanted to quote him as saying "them Europeans" there but that would be hyperbole.)
Anyhoo...he goes on to repeatedly blame downtown Seattle voters, the European thinking governor, and most notably Google, Tesla, and Ford who WILL, within the next year, push to move the legal driving age to 25, restrict teenage driving to daylight hours, and make the entire process of obtaining a license including the class and associated fees around $5,000 in an effort to convert us all into using automated cars for the sake of reducing traffic deaths to zero and looking more like Europe (he really did mention the governor's affinity for Europe numerous times...I'm not joking).
So you heard it here first, folks. It's on it's way. And the only thing between you and the governor over in Olympia, Downtown Seattle, Europeans, and the impending invasion of automated car use is the smart voters of Eastern Washington!
