EXCERPT: It’s easy to see that the days of autonomous cars are nearly upon us, with a number of manufacturers making great strides in taking that wheel-turning and pedal-pushing away from error-prone and bored humans. But what if you could drive the car just by thinking about it? This is the promise of cutting-edge technology being developed by Nissan, which is unveiling the world’s first brain-to-vehicle tech at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas....

I prefer driving my car without thinking about it---those miraculous spans of time when you are lost in a daze and before you know it you've successfully exited the freeway and gone thru 3 intersections without even knowing it.

anyone diagnosed with epilepsy & a vast array of other conditions and under medications will be banned from driving cars by insurance companys which will take over complete control of all private transport.
forcing a massive proportion of private citizens to be prisoners to the company that owns all the driverless taxi services at prices they choose to charge.

sounds like Hitlers ideal world.

not soo keen on that idea.

great for wheel chair/dissabled drivers, however the insurance companys will ban them quicker than you can say gold toilet seats for the rich.
