My car says your car isn’t worth the asphalt it rolls on, and has said so via the intra-vehicular link. And now, what is your car going to do about it?
Can I equip my Mustang GT with vehicle-to-vehicle technology that tells the slow Caddy to get out of the left lane?
Drivers education classes will be reduced to operation of OnStar, SiriusXM and A/C controls.
Hmm...can they share this tech with their Pontiac division? I’d like a black Trans Am that can drive itself.
Oh, and if they can add a swervy red light up front and a speech module tuned to sound like William Daniels as optional equipment, that’d be kinda great too.

As badly as the Obamatrons have lost their way, why would you let them control your healthcare.
With a route to the dealer pre-programmed for all the recalls.
That thread is titled:
Fast Food Workers in for Big Surprise
I've linked to a video that predicts a fully automated world in the future.
My post was as follows:
Sobering reality of the coming automated world
It's not just the fast food and low-skill jobs that are going to be replaced by robots. This video makes the argument that essentially all of our current jobs will be replaced by automation.
As an example (from the video) that makes a strong argument, driverless vehicles don't have to be perfect, they simply have to be statistically less accident-prone than human-operated cars. That tipping point isn't decades away. Many people don't realize we are only a few years away from it.
I just bought a car this year, replacing one I'd had for about 10 years, as I tend to hang onto them for a while (something I think is common among Freepers, I'd bet). This car I just bought might be the last car I ever own that isn't driverless (in some respects). And if you think you can simply still hold onto that 15 year old, reliable beater come the year 2022, just contemplate how the insurance for your 'old-tech' car might be so cost prohibitive as to render it too costly to keep on the road.
For the Freepers thinking they'll never own one of these automatic-autos, I say to you, you're not going to have a choice unless you're willing to spend a great deal more on insurance. A car that drives itself in a measurably safer fashion than all of us will indeed be the way we're pushed into this next generation of vehicles. It really is inevitable.
And to bolster my point, we really already have cars that can drive themselves. I recently saw a video of an Infinit Q50 driving itself using lane departure avoidance and adaptive cruise control. That part is simple and the tech is already running in cars. What is now under development are cars that adjust to all the oddball events that happen in day to day driving, like cyclists in the right lane or things dropping off cars all around us, like loose loads or tire tread or whatever. Indeed, one can easily imagine a google-driven car using the latest google map information knowing every turn and intersection with real-time traffic flow before it even begins it's journey.
We should all refuse to refer to “self-driving” cars.
They are “government-driven” cars. You will go only where the government says you can go.
One of the stupidest ideas ever.
And it’ll probably be an electric Cadillac to boot!
I’ll believe it when I see it, sounds like something from “The Man From U.N.C.L.E.”
What could possibly go wrong?
I’m completely sure that the NSA will not find a way to spy on this type of car.
I’m I’m totally sure that.
uh-huh.
It sounds like GM is trying to kill somebody.
Has something changed? I know Lincoln drivers grew disaffected when the hoods of the new cars no longer resembled aircraft carrier decks.
Both companies seem to have luck selling to the same dying clientele that has no clue that the car may be capable of as long as it starts.
They really should be selling them Priaps and Volts.

Gotta love being able to go supersonic without having to use the afterburner!
