Hands Free Driving is gaining traction or should we say Distraction 😳

Yikes yikes yikes the hands free driving is growing faster than you may realize. Just read this article and you will see it’s here and growing.

Ford’s BlueCruise Takes the Wheel, Hands-Free
The driver-assistance system from Ford works as well as expected.

There is a lot of discussion around the terrifying idea of hands-free driving. While automakers still have massive leaps to make before autonomous—or more aptly level-four autonomous—vehicles start trickling into driveways, there are plenty of systems that take some of the responsibility off of the driver’s shoulders. And only a handful of those systems are advertising hands-free performance: GM’s Super Cruise and Tesla’s Full Self Driving are the two most obvious. Ford, too, is venturing into the hands-free driving ring, and we got to experience what it was like.

It's all fun and games until your Tesla takes a detour into an 18 wheeler.

Self awareness/manual control goes a long way in this world of people driving on their phones, doing makeup in traffic etc.

How lazy can a person get . Driving my cat is one of pleasures in life for me . If a person can't be bothered to drive their car they should take the bus.

In many states, there are traffic laws on the books concerning "distracted driving". Also "failure to avoid an accident".

In big-money cases, insurance company investigators are pulling cell phone record subpoenas.

I was taught that the biggest vehicle has the right of way.

My concern is when the AI is talking on the phone or listening to the latest hard-core street rap and drives you straight up into the back of the autonomous semi-trailer that's busy being hi-jacked remotely from Russia.

You all realize where this is all headed right?

You spring for this eMuscle, self driving, you can get out and parks itself, under 2 sec 0-60, blah, blah blah

So you're sound a sleep at home, it's 3am.

There's a heavy knock on the door.

It's the cops. Your autonomous eMuscle drove itself to the empty mall parking lot and is currently having a good time doing donuts. All by itself.

Cops ask you to 'summon' it home before he figures out what exactly he can really cite you for.

Self driving...no thanks.

But self cleaning and repairing...hell yes!
