Robocars - Autonomous Drive, Self-driving, Driver-less cars

Ridiculous fear-mongering
(Which is what the FBI are for -so the status quo is maintained)

The whole thing doesn't make sense

Remote kill switch stops any car chase before it even gets going. The FBI are idiots.

Who will control the kill switch?
Google?

Interesting subject, actually- you'd need to order a car via your account, so if up to no good you'd need to steal someone else's identity otherwise it wouldn't take Columbo to work out whodunnit.

You may as well just get the car to drive itself to the nearest Police station with the doors locked, rather than bothering getting the coppers out mind.

Anyway, bolocks to driverless cars. Where's my teleporter?

You driving back to Australia?

May as well be.

Automatic parking work really well, however I discovered that because the computer take the most logical path, it wear out the tyres quicker due to doing a full turn of the wheel while static.

@Sparky's own work too.

Spam!

Oh, I posted it.

I like how they are planning to build more roads in expectation of car ownership to rise by something like 20% (don't quote me on that, I can't remember what article I read it from) by 2020.
I wonder what a global survey would show in relation to car ownership and the potential for robocars.
