In essences the idea of time travel seems fictious by nature, but what if I were to tell you it can be done, & in the future Gm standarizes time travel machines, I will admit this seems out their for some, but how would one rule time in lets say as recent as 2036 time travel is a standarized car?

You, dear Hacker, are most astute. There's no reason to disbelieve the possibility of time travel. It's bound to be a reality before too long, as there are all the elements to make it happen available to anyone who can organize it. The point, then, becomes ruling time. Must we? Aren't there already too many cnstraints on us? Realistically, however, we do not exist in a vaccuum, so we affect everyone else with whatever we do, so we must be careful that, within the scope of our explorations, we don't change the lives of others or harm them. That's a far greater challenge than harnessing the time-space continuum.

It seems you are a firm beliver in the butterfly effect, however I understand the implication of not interacting & distrupting something that's been their, I'm more curious as to how to govern people when sending them through time so history remains mostly the same?

Even that small change would definitely change things. The Butterfly Effect is logically a reality.
