Points, I'm telling you points and an AM radio are the way to go!

Well hell yeah, lets create new ways to distract those who cant pay attention to the road or motorcycles. I hope this advance in technology will require an aptitude test to use. Grrrrr.

[LesterPiglet]

Ahhhh, now I know why I don't have any form of supression on my bike. I'll have to drill out my baffle next, probably put my winky buzzer back as well, see if I can work in a dodgy connection to cause a bit more interference.

thats all road users need,even further distractions for drivers.

Excuse me sir, but could you tell me how much it is to put freon
in my car? My voice activated air conditioning won't turn on when
I tell it to. I'm guessing this won't cost too much will it? Oh, and btw,
my wifi goes away sometimes while I'm driving. It happend yesterday while I was in rush hour traffic. I'm not sure the collision avoidence system is working either, cause my brakes didn't apply automatically, and I almost hit the car in front of me! Can I have it
checked out and done by noon? There's no charge to just check it,
is there?... I know we should embrace the future, but it's getting scary.

I'm a die hard tech guy and I work in IT industry but I do believe that there is time and place for everything. Like the old saying goes - just because you can, doesn't mean you should!

When you rely on technology to make critical decisions for you stuff like this happens:

Mercedes Auto Brake Fail
Volvo auto brake fails during demo!

I'm with you on this. I'm surprised the NTSB hasn't at least said, "whoa, let's think about this!" We have a couple of the Google test cars here in Ann Arbor, but I haven't run into any of them yet.

I do not pretend to be a prophet but the day is c coming when instead of technology being a burden to us we will be a burden to it.


Frank Herbert was off by just a few thousand years.

Interesting, and well said sir. It seems like everything's over the top.

And, another step closer to Skynet.

I like that. It would make a great T-shirt.

Sure would.  As is said in my industry, and I am sure, many others "wow, this new model xxx seems idiot proof!"  the common response is "no, the world keeps making better idiots!"

pop the hood and pour some oil in?
