Interesting technology. So you program where you are going on the navi and it goes there?
What is your navi isn\'t updated?

I still wouldn\'t trust this technology until it\'s more widely proven that it\'s safe.
Remember that Benz S class radar thing that stops the car before the impending collision?
There\'s a video out there somewhere where it failed during a demo I believe and it hit the parked S class.
Atleast if this technology is implemented, it can keep some bad drivers from the wheel.


Just one more question though.....



























can you make it drifto up a ramp in a parking complex? /tokyo drift
If it can, I buy one, I = Drift King? :D

Thats neet, but I wouldn\'t trust it. The minute differances (feet) that satellites are innacurate by could meen a lot of scratched rims :p .


I don\'t have the link, but out there there\'s a video of BMWs new technology of a self driving system that is soley for parallel parking. I\'d say that\'d be better. People who don\'t want to drive shouldn\'t drive :p

Oh, and Cuckie, I don\'t think you could be drift king in a FrWD Golf :sarc

You didn\'t have to point that out.. :(

fine, if it was implemented on something that was rwd, would it be able to be programmed to drifto up the parking lot ramp?
