To: null and void

But driving is fun! Why would anyone want a self-driver? But then again I don’t understand why some people want an automatic rather than standard transmission.

So what happens when you drink and the car drives you home?

While I do enjoy driving my car, the ability to actually go to a bar and drink something at all because the car can get me home does hold some appeal. Also on particularly long trips, sometimes it would be nice to take a nap or read.

Driving is fun most of the time. Sometimes it stinks. Last year due to family illness I did 3 cross country trips in 6 weeks, I wouldn’t have minded letting the car do its own driving for most of that, especially the late night second drive home. Speaking of late night drives home, I go up to Phoenix for concerts a lot, but driving back right after the concert is starting to wear on the aging brain and body, soon those concerts will have to include a hotel room, which means fewer concerts; a self driving car would fix that. I’d drive my own car probably 99% of the time, but that 1% of the time I’d let the car do the work would be wonderful.

Well if we can get the car to drive itself maybe we can finally have a car with a wet bar......
