It's great until it drives you into a sea crate bound for some tech billionaire's man-made island -- nm - prayformojo May 28, 08:03 12

- There you go. I consider these to be self-driving golf carts. - Spawn Lord May 28, 08:05 9
  - I have to say I find the no-physical-controls concept to be very disconcerting - znufrii May 28, 08:07 8
    - I think that would be perfect, for old folks. Could give a lot of people their freedom back -- nm - Flavorize May 28, 08:10 2
      - sure. the benefits in any sort of setting would be phenomenal - znufrii May 28, 08:17
      - For kids, too. And of course as was shown, for the blind. -- nm - Spawn Lord May 28, 08:12
    - For low speed, short distance travel I think the can seel it. But not for more than that. -- nm - Spawn Lord May 28, 08:08 4
      - I'd think high-speed, long distance would actually be the better use case. - Ender May 28, 08:17 3
        
        Psychologically, though, you do. -- nm - Spawn Lord May 28, 08:19 2
        
        and when the asshole who thinks he needs to weave through 5 lanes of highway traffic to get to go a little bit faster than everyone else cuts you off - znufrii May 28, 08:21 1
        
        Yeah, because what you really need then is a second person freaking out and randomly jerking the wheel into a third car... -- nm - Ender May 28, 08:51
25 mph! -- nm - Spawn Lord May 28, 08:01 1
- you gotta start with something -- nm - znufrii May 28, 08:06
