For those of us who enjoy driving good cars on good roads, the feeling of freedom that we get and the pleasurable sensations that we feel when we are driving well is not something easily replicated. The frustration that we feel when we are commuting in heavy traffic and like someone else posted earlier, the inconveniences of having to leave a car in a car park overnight after a bit of drinking have caused me to rethink this whole autonomous car idea. I can see the benefits of the technology having useful applications. The thing that worries me though is the thought of my car no longer being in my or my personal on board computer's control any longer. If the system has value to me as a self navigating device with some jelly in it, it has value to someone else as a self navigating device. It's kind of clear to me that anything easily networkable is just as easily hi jackable.
Go dig a hole, lie down and die in it you worthless, arrogant cock sucker! You have no right whatsoever to decide or even suggest how much someone should drive. I drive to make a living for my family. I am a photographer and my job takes me on the road to the tune of 25,000 miles a year. I drive a fuel efficient and very low emissions vehicle that does almost no damage to anything. I don't make a lot of money. My job is a simple middle class workaday job and I could not survive without it. I have not had so much as a parking ticket in 10 years and to suggest that I pay higher premiums just because I drive more than average is ludicrous. How dare anyone take money out of my pocket to fulfill their self important fantasies of world salvation. You small minded little douche.
Is Chuck Norris going to be there when they fire this thing up. Chuck is the only thing that can stop a black hole, because nothing sucks Chuck Norris but Chuck Norris.

Oi! If only I had mod points. I laughed, quietly.
A new record for slashdot destruction?
