Driverless/Self driving car

^^^^
Yea can you imagine while your going down the highway ,all of a sudden you get a popup on your dash saying windows has detected a virus and must shut down

You think they would go to linux ..

Me personaly I'd rather drive myself and be responsible for my own actions.

agreed!

but i feel that at least 50% of our country have no idea what "responsible for my own actions" even means anymore

I'll never have a car that drives itself. What happens if it's a Windows based computer and you need to reboot at 65 MPH?

Or worse- if it's run on an Apple OS... "I'm sorry, this vehicle is not compatible with HWY 285 South."

This all reminds me of I Robot, that Will Smith film with the futuristic cars that have autopilot and you have to actually confirm you want to switch to manual mode. The future looks grim...

Personally, I don't like my car to even lock the doors automatically. I ripped out the little speaker in the dash of the last few vehicles I owned because it bugged me when it would beep when my seat belt wasn't fastened, the key was left in the ignition, the lights were on, the door was open, etc. I just don't need a nanny reminding me to do what it thinks is right. Some might need to have their hand held - not me, TYVM.

the prius likes to accelerate and stick and not let you slow down. plenty of people felt the effect of that problem...some fatally.

did I mention that I hate the prius?

Kinda scary stuff.

I do like the new sensors and stuff.
"Backing Blind" after a large Van/Truck Parks next to you, the sensors are nice.

The police could make your car take you directly to the police station.
