Self-driving car? - BackTalk

Self-driving car?

| | Comments (0) | TrackBacks (0)

GM executives are touting the new technology that will allow its cars to drive themselves and park at their destination. And, says Larry Burns, research and development vice president, it could be ready for sale in the next 10 years.

I'm all for new technology, and I even welcomed the technology that already allows a high-end Lexus model to park itself. But a car that drives itself may be going too far.

Maybe it'll work when there are dedicated lanes on U.S. highways to accommodate such high-tech vehicles. Until then, I rather take my chances on the road with cars driven by attentive humans.
