Why randomly butt into a forward lane from a left turn only lane? Maybe he left the space cause he was scared that the aggresive giant white truck with spikey wheels behind him and a whitetrash whore in the front passenger seat would rear end him and he didn’t wanna hit the car in front of him?

My shit = lost

My father was a United Airlines DC-6 pilot back in the day and my mother was a stewardess which of course is how they met. My first flight sometime just before I was 2 was on a DC-6 but I don’t really remember it. I do remember flying an Olympic Airlines DC-6 from Amsterdam to Athens back in 1969. I distictly remember…

It really is a whole other world. I’ve never really driven in rural area, but I have driven in suburbs, NYC, in Cali, Boston, and a few other cities/states. Each city has their own rhythm. I’ve notice in cali, they really don’t do bumper to bumper driving, and the pedestrian there act completely different than…

Another concern I have is on dirt roads or county roads without lines. You can never quite predict pothole locations, depths, or road widths.

Nah, potholes are everywhere in NYC. I’ve learn to hate snow in NYC. Every time it snows, too many streets/highways goes to crap afterward, and a few new potholes.

This. To be honest, I’m even more militant than that - I don’t even like the idea of a fly-by-wire linkage for steering. I want a physical connection between the wheel and the rack and pinion system. Even if it’s assisted by a power steering pump, I want that to be a permanent fixture. I don’t want an electrical…

Autonomous vehicles have been driving without roads already -

I commute so I love the idea of a driverless car on my commute but I can take the helm for when I get to where I'm going and around town. I could be more relaxed or get work done if I didn't have to drive for my commute and instead could just sit back on the highway. But I live in the south where snow is rare and when…

but that’s why you have the steering wheel. the system could sense/detect rain/snow/whatever and if it deems that the driver must engage, the controls swing out and boom, you drive.

Now I just want to know what big theater chains in Canada, aka Cineplex, are going to restrict. Or in any country other than the US, in fact.

Luckily my Vulcan costume has none of those things.

Woulda been better with this:

DerpDinosaur is fantastic.

Heck, these are all great. Well.... Not a fan of puppyface boy on the right side.

I think it is aimed at the idea that there are going to be “self driving only roads” and manual operation roads...

But, hey, I live in the country, drive a truck and own a tractor, so what do I know?

I think that was part of the theory behind Stanford’s autonomous drifting Delorean.

you just don’t understand the brilliance of the tech industry. someday you’ll realize how “Do (typical everyday activity) with a smartphone app” is revolutionary and amazing. It’s even better if step 2 is “Pretend laws and regulations don’t apply to anything we do.”

The idea of a driverless car is OK, so long as everyone else is doing the same, or so long as the traffic conditions on a mixed driver road permit (basically, empty). I don’t think it’d be hard to get a car to do well in inclement weather, it’ll take time to perfect.

But the idea of seats that automatically rotate…
