New Honda Accord Drives Itself

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the ok-not-quite dept.

pmenefee writes "Japanese car manufacturer Honda has launched a new self-driven car. Dubbed Honda Accord ADAS, the vehicle can change gears and steer itself around bends. While the auto-pilot function will currently only operate on motorways and dual carriageways, officials at Honda believe that future ADAS models will tackle all roads."

      Now all I need is a Honda ASIMO to get out of the car and go in to the office to my job for me, and it's non-stop anime & World of Warcraft from then on. Woo-hoo!

    A dual-carriageway is where those foppish dandies and their tin-lizzies really trip the light fantastic at breath-taking speeds of up to 25 miles-per-hour.

    It'll scare the horses out of their wits! Huzzah! 23 skidoo!
