Hi,
my testicles are full of enthusiasm for coating your mandibular region with my warm love. Please seek to avoid allowing the entry device contacting your posterior when exiting.

This is my solemn vow:

The first time I encouter an automated car on public roadways, I will make it my singular mission to drive around it in such a way that it will LOOSE ITS FARKING MIND and never want to automatically do ANYTHING ever again, with the possible exception of crying in a corner (yes...I'll teach a car to cry). I will signal left and merge right in front of it. I will vary speed like a geriatric on meth. I will take up as many lanes as possible, including the one the automated car is trying to use. I will block the car in behind me and travel at ridiculously low speeds, moving from lane to lane to prevent it from passing. And I will make delighted-sadistic faces at the vehicle's poor, terrified, well-deserving occupants all the while.

They need to spend time on more important things. Mad needs an orange soda dispenser for his Skyline!

Then we are at war. Time to pack caltrops and a HERF emitter. I will not share my roads with a robot.

[numbnuts240]

anyone else find it ironic that the first licensed one is a prius? i mean, weren't they already "driving" themselves a couple years back?

I believe a Prius was the first production car to be equipped with a self parking system back in 2003.

[numbnuts240]

they were, but i was referring to the whole unintended acceleration thing.

[MinisterofDOOM]

That was actually not the Prius. Was 2GR (3.5 liter) V6 powered Toyotas and Lexuses with electronic throttles. The one in the main news story for that issue was a Camry. Because of that BS, it's becoming common to have cars that won't allow you to open the throttle with your foot on the brake. Which is STUPID.

My car's electronic throttle works just fine with your foot on the brake. But, moronically, it won't rev past 3k RPM in neutral or park. WHY!?

[numbnuts240]

i stand corrected.

as for the 3k rpm thing, my exploder does that as well. i assume it was put in place to prevent idiots from over-revving the engine and asploding something, whether it be intentional or not.

[MinisterofDOOM]

I'm sure you're right. Still irritating. Leads to crap like this:

It seems MIT isn't convinced either.

"Knowing where the road is is only part of the answer," said Jonathan How, an astronautics professor, at MIT last Friday. "If the automated system can't handle it and throws it back to me, what am I supposed to do?"

"We need a certain amount of demand to stay focused," he said, citing a report from the Federal Aviation Administration suggesting that auto-pilot systems were reducing human flight skills. "Until driving is totally autonomous, [automation] has the potential to make the problem [of distracted driving] worse."

After MIT's autonomous Land Rover collided with a Suburban entered by Cornell University in the 2007 DARPA Urban Challenge, a government-sponsored competition to test fully autonomous vehicles for military use, the university has been focusing on "intent recognition," a human trait that software has not been able to mimic well.

The vehicle could not be reached for comment.

[MinisterofDOOM]

That's because I stabbed its unbeating silicon heart out and then did burnouts on the remains in my superior human-operated vehicle. Then I went through a carwash to get the faildust out of my wheel wells.

WOW. That thing VAPORIZED those tires in excellent fashion. I'm a little disappointed the crowd wasn't more enthusiastic.

This is my solemn vow:

That sounds like ridiculous fun. Call me when you're about to go out

I'd love a driverless car. Going to/from places is a chore, anything that can take away the monotony of driving to the airport or the grocery store is tops in my book. Hey, if they can make one that can compensate for towing, I'd grab that up in a second. The ability to sleep on the way to one of my national events would be excellent, especially since Nationals is 20+ hrs away.

Considering your home base is DC, could you use public transportation for the mundane stuff?

[themadscientist]

Only in the city. The Metro doesn't come near the saturation of other major cities.

^ this. I use public trans when I have to go into DC proper, but for everything else it doesn't take me where I need to go (ie: where I keep my trailer, my shop where my spare kart is kept, friends houses/apts, etc). Also, grocery shopping using the metro really sucks.

I agree.
