I’d never let an autocar do that. It could probably be hacked by some comp whiz and crashed live on the internet. I can see it now, autocarsmash.com!

Though, after a long night out drinking…beats taking a taxi

I myself would drive and would not let the autopilot take over. But I know that my wife would love this, as would other housewives.

Just think, the wives wouldn’t need to pick up the kids at school, just let the car do it. We would have less accidents from people wearing makeup or cumbing their hair while driving….

You know what’s funny. I’ve seen the Golf this team had last year that looked like a standard Golf.

That PITA of an American car looks like it fell off the ugly tree, hit ever branch on the way down and landed in a bucket of smashed crabs.

I know the contest isn’t based on looks, but it’s still hilarious to look at such an abomination of a vehicle.

I’ll be driving myself for many decades to come! Like most people who visit this site, I enjoy driving, and couldn’t think of anything worse than sitting in a self-driving vehicle. I’d catch the train over one of these.

I want it so that i can engage auto pilot when I feel like it, and then drive when I want to, that would be perfect,

perhaps also this way we can have driver licenses for people that can drive and people that can engage the auto pilot button, it might stop a lot of bad drivers from getting their license!

I’d trust a supercomputer over an 18 year old overseas drivers anyday!
