Good point. Next up: GM requires all buyers must have Google StreetView map their driveway and garage.

I was thinking about that in the 1980’s. With all the talk of Category III (don’t know what it is these days) very few seemed to actually trust it to land the plane. Of course I’m sure being a commercial airline pilot, most the joy is actually flying.
Pukin’ Dog used to say that just monitoring the FMS on the 777 (going over the Atlantic IIRC) was extremely boring. I can believe it. One particular gig I had was a 12-hour shift of monitoring servers on 3 screens - BION, the days when nothing went wrong were the worst, because you had nothing to do. You’d get through 8 hours of boredom and you still had basically 1/2 day of work to go. The days you were busy solving problems, the 12 hours went pretty fast.
Any commercial pilots out there?
What an idiot.
Anybody with half a brain is going to run as far away from one of these things, as fast as they can, lest they get run over.

What I’d like to know is who does GM think it’s sucking up to?
Open the car door, Hal.......................
The good news is both can ride shotgun. The bad news is, it will probably have a shotgun detector. And forced PBS for liberal brainwashing.
Nice! Can the robot built into the dash hand you and your friend a glass of bubbly, too?
Seems like the old transmission tunnel “hump” is going to be replaced with a different hump.
I’m afraid I can’t do that Dave.
Fortunately nothing went wrong there.....
And every time I see a driverless car, I immediately wonder when will be the first time someone loads one up with explosives and drives it to the local church, courthouse, or school.
So who gets sued when an crash occurs. The car company responsible for steering the car?
But does it know when you gotta stop and pee?
The CIA is just taking all the mystery about using vehicles to assassinate political enemies...
I don’t want to be on the road with a car with no steering wheel. Driving around with a bunch of potheads is challenging enough.
You don’t want to drive? Take a bus.
Well, fine.
Evidently all those films of me in Drivers Ed weren’t destroyed after all.
So ...
will I need auto insurance?
... or will General Motors need to provide insurance for everyone who lets them control the car?
...
They’ll have liability like they do now. Most of the liability will go to the owner. These are intended to be fleet cars, at least initially.
Hehe. Its true though all joking aside.. there will be no purpose for the seats “as-is”. Wouldn’t more comfy seating make more sense.
Even the BEST bucket seats suck after a few hundred miles.
Oh wait.. Prolly electric and doesn’t have that range Hahaha!

We need immediate action from congress to ban these insane Road Boulders!
