Many Americans are weighing the rewards of travel — especially travel abroad — against the risks. France, once the country of joie de vivre, is now seen as a hotbed of terrorism. Turkey, having finally emerged from years of shaming (thank you, “Midnight Express”) and shown itself to be one of the world’s most hospitable countries, is being rocked by the convulsions of the region. Concerns about the Zika virus are affecting tourism in much of Central and South America, as well as the Caribbean and even now Florida. Of course there’s Lichtenstein, but if security becomes the primary goal of travelers, it could get extremely crowded.
In a series of initiatives that took place so quickly many Americans didn’t notice it happening, autonomous vehicles have suddenly lurched from science fiction to reality. And even at such a nascent stage, self-driving cars are poised to soon provide more choices to travelers opting for renting a car or hailing a taxi.
