I wonder if there is a correlation between the Sunshine Coast and Gosford Girls.

Nice part of the world.. am lucky enough to get up there at least once a year for our xmas party (my company has an office in maroochy). Have spent some time in Mooloolaba & Maroochydore & Noosa... wouldn't mind exploring some of the countryside too one day.

Honestly,
Who would ever use a car that would drive by itself? Isn't the whole point of technology making life easier but still being in control? The whole point of human thinking is that if something is not always in him or her's control that they would not use it?
If I'm not in control about a situation I'd rather make the situation go away, and I would never use a car that would drive by itself because even if nothing were to happen to it, it makes me feel unsafe by knowing that if anything happens, I have no way to control it.

You enjoy sitting doing virtually nothing for hours on motorways/freeways or in traffic jams, scrunched up behind a steering wheel, without being able to put your feet comfortably or to shift your attention to something interesting, do you?
Me? Gimme a comfortable seat, without those bits of metal sticking out of the floor where I want to put my feet, and pass me a tablet.
I wanna be a eunuchs developer! Pass me a bread knife!

Do you not see every day people who have no place controlling a tea trolley, much less a two ton lump of metal with a couple of hundred horsepower? Maybe you are a good driver, I don't know, but when I was commuting, the morons were everywhere, everyday.
Near blind, demented, drunk, asleep, on the phone, reading, disqualified, or just plain stupid - there are a huge number of people who shouldn't be in control, because they clearly aren't already!
Get used to it. A couple of years after it works, it will be illegal not to use "autodrive" control... and that will save a whole bunch of lives.

It is an undeniable fact that everyone is a good driver - it's (if I may borrow your phraseology) " the morons everywhere, everyday" that are the bad drivers.

Not me - I'm cr@p!
That's why I spend so much of my time watching what everybody else is doing, so I can not get involved in their accident...

Sometimes I have to take the car on Monday at 2:00AM to arrive at some customer workshop at 9:00AM, when that is the case, taking care of speed limits, finding your way with the GPS and driving in general becomes a sunshine.
In those cases, ONLY IN THOSE CASES, I would love the car to drive for me.

So you never fly ? Or do you belong to the people who think that the pilots are actually still doing something that has to do with flight control whatsoever ?

I'd love to be able to do something useful during my daily commutes; and not to have to choose between spending a full day behind the wheel or being molested by the theatrical security agency every time I vacation. I'd gladly pay double what I did for my last car if my new one would drive itself.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Yep. Every time I beat my clothes against a rock in the stream to clean them and then hang them on a tree to dry I revel in the control that I have.

Shoot. Having trouble tracking down the 70s movie with a car thief who uses a remote control. As far as I recall it starred Tyne Daly, so it may be Speedtrap
