Apple has always been greener, but only recently transparent about it; mostly do to those green peace assholes.
Dell also recycles any equipment, and all you have to do is drop it off at goodwill; which really makes sense. If it'sstill usable, they can get it into the hands of some with lower incomes, for reuse, otherwise recycle.

"no lost stuff, no hangs, no delays, no network-reachability issues or timeouts, no ads, no jscript, no worries about blocking and maintenance" which describes my gmail experience. With the added bonus I can access it anywhere.
I know, that guys an idiot. If that where the law, then everyone would have to pullover during rush hour. And when I learned to drive in CA, rush hour was pretty much an hour.
"An obstacle that is required by law to pull over when she get's three cars backed up behind her or face a ticket for obstructing traffic." not if they are going the speed limit. Read the fucking law.
"Not at 55mph highways. Anybody driving below 70mph on the road is considered rightfully as an obstacle." no. If you are going over the speed limit YOU are breaking the law and in th wrong, not the person doing to speed limit. Stop blaming everyone else for you fucking actions.
There still be racing,. we are talking about general public roads for general commuting.
And when the numbers gets past a certain point, they will be banned from general roads but will have exceptions you can qualify for. You'll probably need to show you can operate it. It will probably need a system that alert vehicles around it that it is human controlled.
They will probably be electric by then anyways, so it's not like you're going to have access to a lot of gas.
an autonomous car would be better during emergencies. It can no more about the immediate environment then you, respond faster then you, and know real time traffic patterns to pick the fastest route to the hospital. Hell I wouldn't be surprised if you call 911 on the way to the hospital, and your vehicle is given "temp. emergency vehicle status" on the fly. Other cars will automatically stop or move as you approach and the destination n will be notified you are on your way. The emergency team might even contact you while you are on the way there so you can administer first aid while you're car drives you.
I am in my 40's, and I love to drive..but I fully welcome autonomous cars. The roads will be far safer. I will probably get a car and start racing again to deal with my love of driving.
Manual have become strictly an illusion of control these days, Automatics are tight enough now where the difference in shifting overall is in their favor. I like driving stick, but it's really becoming the modern version of tail fins.
humans have horrible driving skills now. They are not adapted to moving that fast. Although once driving moves from 'fun and control' to boring and a burden then next generation won't have a steering wheel. Well, maybe an emergency one in the trunk.
" I wouldn't ever want to control a car that takes control away from me in crucial moments, because it's an unexpected response , and as such, I'd likely mess up due to the sheer WTF. " it would have control, so you CAN"T mess up. That's the point.

Apple would never soil it's self with the poor.
Except what they where going to do was make battery replaces impossible. Or more accurate, reassembly after the battery replacement impossible.
Either you don't know what you are asking, or don't know jack about evolution... or both.
Oh, and successful prediction have been made regarding evolution.

You? you're pretty much a slashdot hipster.
Maybe because the paid for it and it was not free?
I'm not sure why you think windows 8 is free.

"An obstacle that is required by law to pull over when she get's three cars backed up behind her or face a ticket for obstructing traffic."
not if they are going the speed limit. Read the fucking law.
" and I pass cars left and right. "
get the fuck off the road until you learn how to properly drive.
Passing on the right. What a fucking ass.
"Not at 55mph highways. Anybody driving below 70mph on the road is considered rightfully as an obstacle."
no. If you are going over the speed limit YOU are breaking the law and in th wrong, not the person doing to speed limit. Stop blaming everyone else for you fucking actions.
nope. they wont' ever create special roads. Its hard enough to just add a lane to the current system.

You don't need a drivers license to own a car, or even drive one. You need it to drive in public areas.

Unless you have new your or California plates. Any excuse for those in the hopes of getting a drug trafficking bust.
nothing will ever be completely safe. But every autonomous car on the road, the road becomes a little safer. The respond far faster then a person.

No, you just send you're car to a parking lot complex at the edge of the city. It doesn't have to be near you.
" I wouldn't ever want to control a car that takes control away from me in crucial moments, because it's an unexpected response , and as such, I'd likely mess up due to the sheer WTF. "
it would have control, so you CAN"T mess up. That's the point.
They will have their budgets cut, And driving violation will go away. With the exception of people overriding the system and doing stupid things.
it's autonomous. Play your xbox. Watch a movies, take a nap, have sex, juggle. whatever.
yes, but driving correctly, 50 would take less gas to get somewhere then 75.
"motercycles and scooters. Those won't be automous[sic]"
why not?
Also, cars will detect these objects and adjust accordingly.
There are car son the road, right now, that will automatically stop. So in a world full of auto cars* pedestrians could cross whenever and be safe.
*A name so lame, for so many reasons,l you just know that's what they will be called for about 5 years.
