My personal feeling is that you never put important functions behind software like that, for reasons which may become apparent when I finish this long-ass post about car buying I'm working on. >On another note, I think that between Google and Tesla's offerings in >automatic driving, we're one smart watch app and a dozen software >revisions away from saying, "KITT, I need you," and getting the exact >response Michael Knight got in the series. Mh. I'm not a fan of the self-driving car concept (and on some level feel personally insulted by Elon Musk's assertion that people who want to drive their own cars will soon be viewed as weirdos), but I will say that if I had a car that could drive itself, that is about the only time I can think of that I would actually want it to do so. Certainly not when I'm in it, but if I could send it off to valet park itself while I do things, and then summon it to come and get me when I'm done, that would be pretty boss. Opens up a lot of liability questions, though. Who's at fault if my car runs someone over while I'm standing in front of the supermarket wondering what's taking it so long? (Presumably I am, since no manufacturer ever holds a bag they can make the consumer hold, but still, it's a thing that needs to be settled.) --G. -><- Benjamin D.
