I drove BMW 530 recently. The Nissan Fuga is a dud by comparison!

This is great, so now when mum and dad teach juniour to drive in a car with ABS, ESP, ESC, Traction Controll, Auto Brake Assist, auto parking, Auto transmission, GPS Steering. What actual driving skills can these poor kids ever hope to learn ?

How about diverting that money spent on R&D into driver training.

Just another step on the way towards eliminating the driver.

The only way this sort of self steer tech could possibly work effectivly is if they put special sort of cats eyes or paint on the line markings, then the car could use parking style sensors to ensure it refused to easiy cross a line unless the indicator was applied.

And to be honest, for the amount of money they spend mucking around with the GPS style arrangement, they could have probably cats eyed the worlds roads a few times over

This could never work.
There are too many variables for this to work as smoothly as they suggest.

In QLD for instance there are new roads every day with roadworks going on everywhere.
What happens if you are diverted by a stop go man to the other side for a detour???
Does the car correct your path and throw you right ontop of the poor lollypop man??
And thats just one variable

Great looking car. Zero fun, zero sense.

Car companies should realy stop waisting thier time on more useless technology and instead concentrate more on making their vehicles lighter, more efficient, more fun to drive and better to look at
