    Technology can replace human reflex and inputs, and will increasingly continue to do so. Human input is to be avoided as much as possible to achieve greater levels of safety, reliability, and economy.

    May be technology can aid in making better decisions on road and keeping us safe.That should be the ultimate motive.Anything else will remove all the things that makes us humans in the first place. Driving or commute of course should be safe, reliable, but it should also be fun, no?
    That is my humble opinion.

    The things that make us human are mistakes, and ingenuity. They seem to go hand in hand.

    My hunch is that as technology improves and automates an increasing number of things, we will satisfy our need for fun with games and VR, or driving in designated manual driving areas (race track).

    Not sure where in the Bay Area you live but if you live near Brentwood I can use my Carista to change it to a single beep for you for free.

    At my first servicing, I asked the dealer that. They said it was the MOST requested item they had. (back in 2012) Switched it to a single beep for backing up.
