...I give you Google's self-driving car concept. Is anyone else as skeeved out by this idea as I am? Has Google not already penetrated enough far reaches of my existence, not unlike a friend who asked to crash out on my couch ten years ago and still doesn't have a job?
Really, come off it, Google. First of all, your demonstration video is way too Geek couture - as if Arturo doesn't look silly enough whipping a giant iPad out of his Miami Vice jacket, it depicts a car that's a hybrid of Ghostbuster's Ecto 1 and a certain time machine Delorean. What the hell is that weird spinning laser thing on the roof? I half expected Arturo to dump some banana peels into the Mr. Fusion machine in the trunk before climbing in. "Drivers? Where we're going, we don't need-" cue dramatic drop of the silver sunglasses - "drivers!"
Second off, I've seen "Scent of a Woman" one too many times to get into a car driven by anyone with less than perfect vision. But no driver at all? Please. Now why don't you make like a tree, and get outta here.
