They will be like the flying cars in some of the Star Wars episodes. You
get into your car program it where you want to go and it takes you there.


*** as long as they don't allow women to get a license to
operate them ... they may be involved in less accidents than
men, but they cause three times as many.

No one needs a license, no one drives. You just tell it where to go and it takes you there.

Last week, I was watching an episode of "The Last Leg" featuring Stephen
Fry as the guest.

Stephen mentioned an incident in an "robot" car, where the driver said
"Hey, look at this!!" and let go of the steering wheel.

Things went O.K. until they were on a piece of roadway which had a
concrete centre divide, and the road curved .... and the driver freeked
out and took manual control before the car ran into the centre divide.

Seems there might still be some bugs to iron out before "we" can go
"hands free"!!
