I made the same mistake earlier this week. Also, if something were drifting at 3 mph (I have no idea if that's plausible), it would have gone over 1000 miles by now.

Well, another benefit of autonomous cars is that if you did need to park them, they could do so in extremely tight spaces, because they would have already dropped off their passengers curb-side. Also, they could box each other in, because if one needed to get out it could kindly ask the other cars to do get out of the…

Zac, I don't mean this as a personal assault, it's more a comment on the world as a whole...

Maybe... I've been in some very convincing simulators.

Internet detective to the rescue!

I went on a rocket launch simulator. It doesn't compare to an actual blast off, but that experience has me convinced that they could pretty convincingly simulate a car ride.

"And because someone draws that line much sooner than you does not mean that they place no value on the same thing." That's a fair point. We both assumed too much about each other's opinions.

Because saying that you value something does not mean you pursue it at all costs. There are reasonable balances. For example, when smog in your city reaches critical levels, banning some portion of vehicular traffic for one day.

Yeah, who values stuff like cleaner air?

Yes.. they are indeed. As are the same worn out jokes about every other nationality.

I want to see the configuration for my commute when I let the car do the driving.

Maybe you were responsible for the hijacking? I mean it could turn out to be true.

Let's see how this Flight 370 thing pans out first before we get too nostalgic.

I am so tired of the baseless speculation that is qualifying as news, from this and other outlets alike. STOP IT.

I don't think that this is what people are talking about when they say that a good relationship requires communication.

Maybe she's cooking dinner for him every night? Or myriad of other reasons for wanting to know when he's leaving work that you know nothing about?

These tips might work for a cruise that is almost exclusively at Port, but if you're spending much time at sea you might as well have just read a book at the beach.

Automate them!

To all the "autobahn" people, were you aware that the unrestricted sections of the autobahn have higher fatality rates than the restricted sections, to a rate that is worse than that of several US states?

More dollars than sense I guess!
