Arrow Now You Can Eat & Tweet While You Drive..

..The Self Driving BMW Is Coming To A Highway Near You!

Just saw this video, don't think it has been posted before. I personally don't think that this kind of car can ever exist in today's world. Maybe one day but not right now.

When this happens I will make sure to sell all my cars Just think of it if hackers alter the software and we have massive pileups of fine cars on the highways ...

no thanks that part of technology is not for me lets just say I know too much about what can go wrong and the consequences thereof ...

It be time then to get a horse and buggy and retreat back int the quiet country side ... even a fenced in farm to keep those gadgets out

THE TECH ... I saw that segment ... did you see all the gadgets that car had on board

You are right but that car could only manage to go around the Top Gear test track once JC had completed a lap of his own, the dynamics on this new system are far greater with the car being able to make spantaneous decisions for every new scenario it is introduced to with very minimal delays.

Agreed. Obviously in the several years since that filming, BMW has progressed the system. It's only natural that it would have more features now than it did then.
