Talking-Car Systems to Be Required as U.S. Weighs Rules

[Seceded]

automated cars would be no fun at all, driving is the only thing that keeps me sane besides my guitars lol. I cant even drive an automatic because i get tempted to do things i shouldnt while driving like texting, I have to have a manual car, or im a road hazard xD

That Ma and Pa Kettle story reminds me of a guy I knew who had his door busted in twice for having purchased some lighting and other hydroponic accessories to grow some fresh vegis during the winter months. No friendly visit by the authorities to make sure he was on the up and up, no polite "hey can we look around, some of that stuff may be used to produce controlled substances", nope. They busted his doors in with assault rifles. Their real beef with it was probably that he wasn't buying the pumped up, government regulation, brain wash vegis. And I'm only being mildly sarcastic, because half of me sorta believes that!

I dont like the fact that if all these cars can communicate between each other they will also be able to work together. I know thats the point, but its also the downfall. Someone will have a level of control over that system. If they want to find you, it will be easier than ever. If the cars are set up right they will not only be able to disable your vehicle, but also box you in with other nearby vehicles while simultaneously locking you in.

Not to mention when the cars get mad and take over the roadways for themselves. It would be like the running of the bulls, only faster.
