    I'll have to put that on the watch list.

    realistically, the planet needs to sort out the CO2 emissions before the cars should left to choosing their own fuel and other decisions currently reserved for us higher ups on the evolutionary scale. Got AI?

    Yeah.

    Great name for a car too.

    I personally think that we’re gonna get there with L5 but it’s going to take a lot of work and they’re probably going to have to take the foot pedals and the steering wheel away from the driver.

    Fortunately, I will have long since passed before this happens.

    RATS!

    I didn’t realize the 13,000 of the last 15,000 miles didn’t happen with my hands off the steering wheel.

    I saw the Nova program and realized they don’t have enough AutoPilot time because they didn’t cite the real limitations. No, I’m not going to list them here as there should be tuition paid for some knowledge.
