I hear ya. Just wait until we all own Google cars and only our sacred motorcycles will be self controlled. And we will live underground, like in Demolition Man. Do you want to be Snipes or Denis Leary??

could you please share your 3 reasons ?
Can't remember, i'm too stoned and paranoid on Sativa right now.... :lol:
Well, obviously a lack of control is my first concern, and the reliability of the system, we are assuming it works perfectly all the time, but we know that's definitely not true when it comes to electronics.
If an animal runs in front of the vehicle, and you happen to have your two right wheels on ice and two on the road, you'll be in the ditch if the ABS doesn't do it's job. Perhaps everything works great for the first year, what happens as the car ages and things start to fail?
Not to mention the people that buy this vehicle will be expecting miracles instead of relying on skill, which should be mandatory, but we know thats not true. In short, it will create more lazy, unskilled drivers, same for the parking assist, ridiculous.
...and of course, people such as those who posted earlier, who will dip in front of these computer controlled cars, just to see the car brake suddenly for ***** and giggles. Then the unskilled driver behind you, without the super braking system, promptly rear ends your fancy new car.
The answer is better driver training and testing, not technology.
Watching Canadas worst driver should explain that.
The mercedes anti-accident features definitely do not always work as expected or intended.
And correct me if i'm wrong, but you are a Mercedes owner, right?
Therefore i value your opinion highly as i have never owned one.
correct!

Maybe he's referring to salvia?? I heard that can make you paranoid.
Since when did you need two eyes to get a driver's license?

Someone backed into my boss' Lexus and tweaked the sensor. IIRC that accounted for $5700 of the $14K bill. Serves him right for being too cheap to pay for parking at his doctor's office and parking next door at the Beer Store. :lmao:
Couldn't agree more, those people were all ready paranoid, with or without weed.
I have yet to encounter a paranoid stoner and i know very many dedicated smokers.
People on alcohol or pills, thats another story all together.
That's fake crap, and kids are going mental smoking this garbage because the real, safe stuff, is "illegal".
Once all these old brainwashed bastards from the 40's and 50's die, we'll start looking at the true facts, follow the lead of certain States and put an end to this failed war on the evil weed!!
Now back to the car issue.... thats a good story Fullmotojacket, and probably the reason insurance is so high, a little fender bender totals the car now. Ridiculous....
.
Not sure if you do or don't need two eyes to get a license but the dude says he can't see **** on his right side. That might be important. You know when you renew and you have to stick your face on that thing and tell them which side the light blinks?

I HATE HATE HATE my traction control on my truck. Even when I turn it off, it still activates, but instead of it activating at just a little bit of slide, it activates with the truck at a pretty serious angle of slide. If it's a slide that I'm holding and turning in to, when it does it's fancy independant brake corrections it then over corrects and I have to agressively catch it so it doesn't shoot me off the road. Luckily I play with vehicles in a controlled scenario so that when it happens "real time" I know what to expect.
I grew up with old farm trucks from the 70s. No electronic nannies, I don't need them (well, I don't mind ABS on a street vehicle). It really is a dangerous situation teaching people they don't need to learn how to drive because the car will do it for them.
Teaching the gf how to drive. I am going to pull the ABS and traction fuse out and set her loose on an icy parking lot to she can learn how to control a vehicle in a slide.
