Looks trippy as ferk, how long before cars are driving themselves.

Technology like this takes the skill out of driving I reckon.

I really want that motorway cruising tech. The one where you pick what speed you'd like to go, but if there's someone in front of you, the car slows down itself.

Long Trip = No problem
 
Didnt Top Gear trial this on a higher spec car but it didnt work, couple of years ago mind so maybe the technology is better now.

Aye that does seem canny. My car's got cruise control which I only really use for average speed checks but even then I'm always having to turn it on and off as people are up and down in speed.

So what? Surely the ultimate goal is to make things as easy for ourselves as possible not as hard as possible.

On long trips, I barely use my feet - Cruise Control has a "resume" function - so I use that whenever I'm slowed down.

It is magic for average speed zones though, coupled with sat nav to get your true speed to the 50mph limit.

Does it bang on the anchors when there the traffic inexplicably goes from 70 to stopped on the motorway? I'm not sure I could trust it to do that yet. It would take years of non-dead early adopters before I could use it.
 
Some of us enjoy driving, and all these gadgets take away the experience.

But no one will take away the reverse function on a car? You will still be able to park if yourself if you want to. I don't understand why you're upset.

I look ahead, and knock the CC off, and the car slows slowely.

Rare that a jam comes out of nowhere, unless you're not looking. And the brake pedal is still there, if I need it.

I never said I was upset, I simply posed a question...it seems to be you getting upset thinking that I'm upset.
 
f***ing dishwashers eh, taking all the skill out of doing the washing up. When I go round my mates and I see his plates sparkling while he does fuck all, ooooh I tells ya, I could smash a cup.

and it's a good point for anyone that likes washing dishes.

:confused: Jams come out of nowhere all the time. It is one of the most annoying and inexplicable aspects of motorway driving in this country.

and sometimes you get to the end of the jam and still have no idea what caused it.

Three lanes in, three lanes out and nothing blocking any of them. WHY THE POTTY MOUTHED MAN DID WE STOP? :evil::evil::evil:
