For many drivers who commute long distances, the prospect of owning a self-driving car — where a driver takes his hands off the wheel and feet off the gas — has been an elusive dream.
But on Thursday, Elon Musk, chief executive of Tesla, took a big step in that direction when he announced that the maker of high-end electric cars would introduce autonomous technology by this summer. The technology would allow drivers to have their cars take control on what he called “major roads” like highways.
Mr. Musk said that a software update — not a repair performed by a mechanic — would give Tesla’s Model S sedans the ability to start driving themselves, at least part of the time, in a hands-free mode that the company refers to as autopilot.

Make a self cutting chainsaw and you got my attention!
Do, or, Do Not. There is no Try.
I'm intrigued with this autopilot self driving car, I could find a better use of my time other than sitting in traffic, But trusting a computer to drive, IDK, what about when is slippery out, a deer runs out, to many variables for me at this point
Good point Murph,Originally Posted by Murphy
Same with the chainsaw thing too.
Do, or, Do Not. There is no Try.
Who is at fault when 2 of these cars wreck into eachother? Would you get a discount on insurance or would your rate increase? What happens when the car is driving itself and a blowout or mechanical issue happens? Will it yield to emergency vehicles?
Details, details...We don't need no steeenkin' details Ark.
Do, or, Do Not. There is no Try.
Relax and enjoy the ride. Like the government let the car take care of you.
