My causing Jimmy had to drive his wife to church and pick her up every Sunday, while he had to do work around the house. He always said that one day there will be a car to do that for him. He had the vision to wish that back seventy years ago. Would he be happy to know, soon cars may do that, if he was alive?


Well, it's not quite here yet, but Uber has been around for a while.

I use my “Adaptive Cruise Control” 75% of the time any time I’m on a highway. Keeps me the right distance from the car in front.


I use mine (2021 Honda Accord EX-L) a lot in the city. It takes a lot of the hassle out of driving in traffic.

Which States are you guys in ? Just want to make sure, next time I am there, NOT to visit those ones. I would rather people were in control than a machine programmed by people.

If you've seen some of the drivers in the states you might prefer the self-driven cars.

The safety record of self driving cars is much higher than human drivers. If only you could program drivers not to make mistakes or willfully break traffic laws.
