It is futile to resist. You must be part of the greater collective, you cannot be a self.

The idea is so you don't have to pay attention while driving. I have heard that while following the navigation installed on cars some have driven into lakes and rivers. So you think getting out of a electric car surrounded by water is a good idea. This is doomed to fail. One driverless car on the freeway will surely end badly for the fool who buys one. I have noticed even the big trucks drive 5 over the speed limit.
So everyone is going 80 will this car go 80 or posted limit? This only works when everyone is forced to buy one. Comrad.

Are they all going to have that stupid stuff on the roof?
Will it buff out if damaged?
Will my warranty cover the parts to fixed?
Does it come in a color of my choice or just white?
Will I be able to find my car in the parking lot?
Will I have my own lane on the freeway?
Will the government give me a tax credit?

[Carnut]

Yes and no.
