    circmand.... you negative Nancy!

    I really like where this tech is going. It's just not getting there fast enough. Seems to have been in a rut for some years now.

    Would be cool having a full-time DD. I might hit the pub every evening and shave on my way into work every morning.

    And I do like how it is a good supportive role for disabled people who need to get out and about.

    Sadly, nothing is ever cost effective and I can only imagine the $$ on this type of system when it is "A Go".

    Still, awesome.

    Negative is the way too be safe. remember the old Cadilac V-8-6-4? POS but sold it for 2 years to get their money out of the R&D money spent. Everyone is selling mystery items that promise increased gas mileage, 100% return on your investment, etc I like to do my part to help the buyer of this stuff not make mistakes. I doubt I would like the car to do the driving. I doubt whether politicians would do away with DUI for this. I have seen people get a DUI on horses, riding mowers and bicycles all to increase money going to politicians to spend to buy votes by giving it away to special interests.

    You forgot about the people that get DUIs sleeping in the back seat of their car because they knew they were too drunk to drive and decided to sleep in the back seat until morning only to be woken up by the police because they were sleeping in their car and charge with DUI because they were drunk while in the car and because they had the keys in their possession and might have woke up and started driving so they were charge with and convicted of drunk driving.
