Shape Shifting Car
On long, boring trips, or in traffic tie-ups, hands-free driving sounds great! One might even take a nap on the longer trip! However, I, myself, will NEVER trust a machine to make all the proper decisions, and be completely automatic. The same goes for aircraft.....there MUST ALWAYS a pilot in command, who should be continually aware of everything around him/her. Auto-parking, auto-lane control and collision avoidance.....great! BUT, you STILL need someone awake and aware, for those situations NO MACHINE can cope with....and, don't worry, Murphy's Law says there WILL always be one!
Personally, I enjoy driving, and would NEVER buy one of these 'road cocoons' that insulate you from the road and everything around, just so you can TEXT/watch DVDs/sleep/whatever! One thing I WOULD like is the ability to arrive somewhere, get out, and let the auto go find a parking space (like New York City!). Then, when you get ready to leave, it comes back for you!
