I want a car where I input the destination and it takes me there no questions asked. That's right, nothing worse than a overly social car computer that keeps wanting to ask you questions. Such as: "Why am I here, where am I going.. Do I dream?" It is here to take me somewhere, it is going where I tell it. I'm not sure if it dreams. If it dreams about taking me places without asking all those pesky questions, then dream away. \:\)

Just make sure your car isn't powered by windows. It'll keep crashing, need to be rebooted or badger you with "are you sure?" messages.

I do not ever want to be in a car that drives itself.

That guy has been working on that for so many years it isnt funny .
Its a cool concept alright , I read he was having one heck of a time getting it to pass all the regulations he almost gave up .
FCC was giving him a hell of a time with it .
I would want one for sure , as long I was the only one in town that had one , and knew some other idiot wasnt flying around in one too ;\)


I work with the FAA on a daily basis, I know what a pain they can be when it comes to putting a new idea across their desk and getting them to bite the hook. Most things in the air today, work on time tested technology. We've had a helicopter in the experimental stage for almost 4 yrs now. All we did was put a more powerful engine in it so it would run more efficient power curves. It has over 500 flying hours since the switch, so its even time tested now. But the FAA is hung up on getting one single document from MD that we've been waiting on for 2 yrs now.

Over all, the approval process can take a very long, long, long time.

LOL, palm grease seems to help with getting approvals in some of the other countries, but not this one.
