The Brit's, eh? Did they figure out a way to make it leak oil yet? d;^)

You forgot rusting out quickly and the Lucus Prince of Darkness electrical system!

Yes it will be quite interesting when the push lawnmower rolls out of the back of the truck in front of you at 60 mph and begins flipping high in the air and breaking up or the loading pallet falls out and slides around on the bridge.

Can the computer and all of its sensors acquire data fast enough and figure out where the mower is going to land next?

My God issued M1A1 mod 0 brain got it right.

There are a lot of cars already on the road here in the USA that drive themselves on the highway using Adaptive Cruise Control, Direct Adaptive Steering, automated emergency braking,lane departure prevention and active lane control.
One can drive for miles without touching the steering wheel.
Cars like Infiniti, Mercedes and Acura have these features now.

I WANT one!

Would you want to go on a pub crawl in London knowing it’s infested with muzzies?
