.......just read this today so bear with me if this is old news. Aren't drivers bad enough without giving them an out to anything that might be remotely complicated about driving.

I used to laugh at all those futuristic movies where people get into the driver's seat, plug in their destination and let the car drive them where they were going. Not laughing now. I enjoy driving. I guess in 20 years all the cars I will be driving will have to be classics.

Here is the link to the article.

It is great that an American car company gets good press for the innovation though. Love that blue oval. :thumbsup

Yep and they also have pedestrian impact friendly front ends. Is just me or are these people installing options to make it appear they are better drivers than they really are. :biggrin
