"Ford CEO Mark Fields announced Tuesday that his company will release a 'no steering wheel, no gas pedal, no brake pedal car' by 2021."

What??? No steering wheel, how do you override a failing computer?
Here's the article:
Ford plans to mass produce a 'no driver required' autonomous vehicle by 2021

I was reading about it this past week

Will be like being Chauffered by "James" as long as James pays for the gas

I just find it hard to believe that a car like this will park itself in a lot at a store when I just type in an address. I will have to wait and see if it really works like it is supposed to.

If the price is less than $7300, then I'd certainly consider it.

That much technology in a car from one of the "Big 3"?
If it's under $30K for the first ones I'll be surprised.

And with a car like this on the road, how do you avoid the cars that aren't automated?

I'll offer to watch Mr. Fields as he live streams his experience in being chauffeured by this car for the first few years...then make up my mind!

 

[JEBar]

in a word, NOPE

don't want any part of it

"Would you buy a car like this?"

Ask the people who's plane his a flock of birds and had to make an emergency crash landing in the Hudson River, if they would like to fly in a plane with no pilot.


P.S. Did anyone notice this pilot was not a young guy? He was an old guy with lots of experience. <Profanity removed>.

I live in the hot part of AZ, unless these cars can find the parking spot in the shade, no thank you.
