This is gawker, where every article is misleading and important information is always left out.

Has anyone else noticed that when you are stuck behind a slow moving vehicle, its usually a Toyota of some sort [Camry, or Corolla]. Also, with a 50% chance they are smoking.

If the seats were more conformable, I could see myself buying one. Having uncomfortable seats is the number one deal breaker for me.

Currently living that nightmare as we speak.

Currently own a 2009 Toyota Matrix. It’s sooooo boring, not comfortable and has a cheap, ugly ass hard plastic interior. Also, Its too small to be really useful.

I would just buy a fleet of self driving cars and send them on their way. Making mad money while I sip on some whiskey and keep tabs on the cars from my phone.

Me Wanty!

Understandable, I have a 300 HP + Turbo Saab 9-3. If I hammer down, the thing takes off like a scalded cat! Before I know it, I’m going 200 km/h with no effort and the turbo spooled up tempting me to go faster.

If “blind” means every single sensor failing at the same time and every backup sensor, which likely wont happen ever, then you would you have to take control. In this senerio, It could send alerts to the driver of full auto failure.

I would assume the fail safe is that once the car does not have enough data due to sensors being out of spec, it releases control back to the driver. It should thus refuses to turn back on until fixed. I mean this is brainstorming 101 for all the engineers, they likely would have thought of this and most other…

Then get a model x.......

I played 3/4 of fallout 4 remotely on Xbox in my office. Worked extremely well. I am hard wired in, no noticeable latency.

Funny, right as I read your comment, I watch the CBC News program that’s on how the Russian people overwhelmingly support Putin. He’s like a pop star there.

I know that Class 2 and Class 5 work very well. Tested in a GMC Jimmy and Saab 9-3.

Travel any where in Canada, or northern countries of the world?

Got no highs, got no lows, must be Bose!

Exactly, no one in their right mind would want to give up a cost effective car. If they did buy them back from owners, its probably at a low value, and the owner is now forced to replace the car. Loss to the owner.

Robot taxi, aka sending my car to pick up friends who don’t have a car.

Yeah, would be cool to plug in sheet and toss it down on the garage floor, and forever park over it. (Cheap way)

Oh I see, the big old bulky slow SUV to help take care of the kids, and the hot young sports car to rev the engine on the side....
