What a great car future today's teenagers have to look forward to.

 

Soon, insurance companies will view a standard transmission as an anti theft device in your car, and lower your premium. 

I hate technology

At least you can override by putting your foot to the floor

You could just put tape over the camera lens, huh?

 

Can they make  a detector for nice-looking brunettes too?

 

Some people really rely on the automatic-shift transmission, like veterans who hurt or lost a leg, or people with one arm hurt, etc.

 

Autonomous cars are a death-trap.  It's the same for GPS-driven ones.  People can drive much more safely than anything electronically-operated. Some people just decide not to.

I think my point in the previous post would be;  should you lose your driving privilege or auto insurance (which is the same thing) because you have a hurt am or leg, and can't use the manual-shift for a while?

It's starting!!!

Google Cars!    (Worst of all...)

 

As a buddy of mine said:  I'm gong to go home and kick my toaster, while I still can!

Well the future seems ****ed up anyhow. I need to last at least another 30 years before I can go with retirement and get the heck out of here.

fake speed limit signs, relocating signs, and graffiti would make things interesting

100km/hr to 10km/hr

50km/hr to 500km/hr
