What's the short story that inspired the film "Idiocracy"?
Or maybe didn't "inspire" it, but the idea is the same. Might have
been late Golden Age.
Never mind! I decided to kick my DuckDuckGoFu into high gear and
found it myself: "The Marching Morons" by Cyril Kornbluth.
In 'The Marching Morons', one way Homo Dumb was misled to think he lived
a sophisticated life was that his mediocre cars played fake vroom vroom
noises into the cabin.
I was amused to find that now some 'sporty' cars do exactly this.
