You could level that argument at Ferrari.
Who would have expected the douche with a prancing horse as his icon to make such a dismissive post?
Ceci n'est pas un voiture.
I'm totally for this. Having autonomous vehicles would greatly benefit traffic flow in city traffic. Driving in a city is boring anyway. Save the fun driving for where it really matters!
The way I see it, the day everybody else's cars fail at driving themselves is the day that we, the Jalops, get to finally drive like an action movie.
