    Yeah, right. What if there's no parking spots? Does it come back and blow the horn or send you a text or does it ride around until it finds a spot or runs out of gas?
    I don't want to ride in anything smarter than me; it's why I don't ride horses.

    And just how is this smart car going to take a ticket from the gated machine at pay parking lots? Neat through.

    Every time an older person dies, its like burning a full set of encyclopedias that will never be published again. So, if you ever want to learn more of anything, just find a old tradesman and hang out with him and then when he passes on, not the full set will burn, you'll have parts of it to pass on to others.

    I can see applications for this, and welcome ones.

    As I get older I do wonder how long I will be able to drive and retain my independence. This development extends that speculation into the half blind and completely uncoordinated era.

    As long as I have the coordinates for home, church, the grocery and Golden Corral in the GPS I can just lock the car door, kick back and take a nap and program the alarm to tell me I have arrived.

    I can also see busy soccer moms telling the car to go pick up the kids while she heads for another appointment.

    Pretty cool.

    I can picture the courtroom scene now.

    Defense attorney: Ladies and gentlemen of the jury - I intend to prove that the auto drive function of this car took over and caused the accident. My client is the victim here. The wrong person is on trial. Audi caused this horrific mishap and as such should be defending themselves.

    I'm gonna be like Will Smith in I, Robot. I want to be able to put my hands on a steering wheel (preferably one that works).
    True enough, my final home is still out there, but this is most certainly my home range and I love it. I love every rock I fall off and tree I trip over. Even when I am close to dying from exhaustion, a beautiful sunset doesn't lose it's power to refresh and inspire me and that, in itself, is enough to save me sometimes.
