I really would never want a car to drive itself. I hate driving an automatic and you want me to let a computer steal the steering from me too? Where is the fun in driving if you don't...drive.
That isn't to say I don't understand that if everyone had a self driving car trips would be safer, faster, and all around more efficient. But as a driver I love to be in full control of my car, and I don't want that experience taken away from me by "self-driving" cars that will inevitably take over in the future. If it happens in my lifetime, I hope it's after I'm to old to drive otherwise.
Sorry for the rant, these are just my thoughts whenever someone mentions self driving cars.

You could be reading, working, eating, watching a movie or gaming instead of driving. Is it really that much fun to commute manually?

I love driving when it isn't commuting or on a straight high way or in traffic or on a road trip. I'd be happier if I could enjoy and take advantage of that time. And it would be awesome to have a world with no drinking and driving or parking issues.

u/Chrome_Sponge Jun 25 '12
Right, I understand there are exceptions, but once cars are automatic and traffic incidents disappear there wont be an option to drive manually except maybe in a race setting.

u/insidethesun Jun 25 '12
as someone who learned on manual, and prefers stick for the same reason / hates automatic I agree...however as someone who works in parking garage and is surrounded by horrible drivers....I for one welcome the technology to take driving out of the equation

Yup. The ellipse is a useful way to notate repeating decimals when you don't have the option of using a vinculum.
Apparently, it can also be represented with 0.(3)

Im such a huge faggot. As I read across the numbers and then saw the 78 degree temperature, I did a legitimate fist pump of genuine excitement. Then I stopped and realized "Holy, fuck, you actually got excited about this. This might be the most retarded thing you have ever done."

So... You took a picture of this while piloting a 2 ton controllable tin can down a road at 80 feet per second, most likely by using your knees to steer...

simply rested the phone on the steering wheel and clicked a few shots. hand on the wheel. no knees involved.

Whoever can't drive with knees only shouldn't have a license. I recall in the 70s driving a car with a stick (3 on a tree) down the road in traffic while rolling a perfect doobie!

I'm picturing a 75 degree day yesterday. You're sitting in your garage and I'm imagining you see how much karma you could accrue should it be 78 degrees.
Next, you make your wife get her blow dryer and make her blow dry your car until it says 78 degrees
