Man, you know, we're really thinking that Orwell was right, especially about his native land. Eggheads in the land of bangers 'n' mash are making predictions that the entire nation's transport system will be controlled by RFID-receptive "network clouds" (aren't there enough goddamn clouds in Blighty already?) that will direct the routing of vehicles running on autopilot by 2056.
