How about if the car lets me drive and lets me decide whether I want it to keep me from doing dangerous things (tailgating, backing into objects, changing lanes into other cars, ramming the car in front of me while I adjust the radio, etc.).
third option: it's a red herring. They're building it to distract people away from the micro-ornithopters that we're really using to gather intelligence.

If the angle is just right, it skip off the atmosphere like a stone skipping on the surface of a pond. Too low, and the atmosphere would slow it down and it would break up into lots of little pieces and burn up..
Common wisdom is that people with ADD and ADHD can't pay attention, but this isn't true. We pay attention to things we find rewarding (which generally does not include things that their teachers and parents want them to pay attention to).
The solution is helping people with ADD/ADHD find rewards where they might not have found them on their own.

all that matters is that I look cool when I hold it.
The problem for lawmakers is that the existing per-gallon gas tax has hit a point of diminishing returns, as Americans drive less ...
If people are driving less, maybe we don't need to spend as much money building and maintaining roads.
