Solution to the "heavy" problem?

Wonder if that means you'll be able to set the speed, lean back and pour a coffee?

Apparently it's not quite that good—see [url=http://www.motorcycle.com/manufacturer/honda/honda-riding-assist-technology-lets-motorcycles-balance-themselves.html]here.

I don't follow... the MO article doesn't say anything that I could find that says anything other than what the video shows.

Received a lukewarm response from some in the press..........fearing the self driving car.

When, in the near future, will it be illegal to manually operate a motor vehicle?

My prediction? California will be the first.

We live in a golden age of sorts.

I can't wait for robot cars. I'm SO tired of having to sit like the disinterested uncle watching his nephews blow themselves up on the fourth of July.

People can't drive. I realized this morning on the way to work that it all started with the general availability and use of the automatic transmission. With a manual transmission (which two of my four automobiles possess, and what I was driving this morning), you have to anticipate other driver's actions because you need to be in an appropriate gear to do something about it, so you're actually paying attention or else you go nowhere. With an automatic transmission, you just go to sleep and press the gas pedal harder when you need to, usually well after realizing something bad happened (if you happen to realize at all). Then add in cell phones, automatic cruise control, automatic braking/collision avoidance, lane departure warnings and lane-keep assists, etc., we're actually in a more dangerous situation now until we get to fully-autonomous vehicles because people are paying less and less attention while the driving experience still requires frequent human input.
