"Driving is an exercise in dynamic flow control; making decisions quickly that take into account the relative velocities and probable trajectories of all the other vehicles with respect to each other and to the terrain. It's about fluid motion. I enjoy both driving and seeing new places in the world, and particularly the transitions from place to place." (Eric Hulteen)
