Automatic Brakes Will Be in All Cars by 2022:

There was a Lib that wanted toilet paper to be monitored to save the trees.... honestly. She said "one square per visit, and 3 for the pesky experiences".

The only thing she attracted with that message was flies....
 
if they would just make these thing fly like they were supposed to - none of this would be a problem..

Exactly. I just read that they figure 24% of all accidents are now caused by cell phone use. How many accidents will be prevented by this new junk? I'll bet its a lot less than 24%! Keep on adding more and more unnecessary garbage to them, and pretty soon new cars will be so expensive that only the 'one-percenters' will be able to own one. I guess everyone else is supposed to take the bus (if there is one).

Stopping on an interstate can be a very bad idea. It might be better to hit some debris or a small animal rather than stopping in front of a big truck or other fast moving densely packed traffic. If it's a car jacker standing in front of you, it would be nice to keep the option of running over him (while ducking).

Good point.

Or if they are too stupid to figure out that it's dangerous to text/talk on their phones while driving, maybe they deserve to be taken out of the gene pool....

(To raise the collective IQ of the rest of the herd....)
 
Rented an SUV to drive from PA to GA about a month ago. Go to pick it up and it's a BRAND new Tahoe. I had to swallow my pride a bit to crawl inside, but what did I expect when I put the choice up to the rental company. Anyway, this thing had 300 miles on it.

It practically drove for me. It had a vibrator (tee-hee) in the driver seat.

If you got too close to something in front of you (tailgating) while driving it would beep a tone, flash off and on quickly a large red light onto the inside of the windshield.

It had a lane monitor that would actually correct your steering if you got too close to the center or outside lane line ....
This was the most startling thing that happened. I typically drive on the oustide of the road when it's safe to to give the idiots passing at 95 mph enough room. It kept steering me back towards the center of the lane....

All that being said...I did enjoy the heated seats, power heated and auto dimming side mirrors, rear entertainment and HVAC system for the kids, I never drove something with such bells and whistles...

I remember that. What those enviro whacko morons don't understand is, there are whole forests dedicated to all of our wood and paper needs. It's not like companies just go out and hack a bunch of trees down at random.


That said, the problem is not with "the gubmint", it is with "we the people". We have become so complacent, that we are letting them run us, instead of the other way around.

You know why that is don't you? Because everything is convenient. Everything that exists today is to make your life easier. To make just living easier. The easier everything is. The less you have to fight and work to make something happen. The more likely you are to go along with it.

Previous generations fought hard for basics. And so taking away what they fought for made them fight to keep it. You don't give up something you've earned very easily.

Now look at us. Hungry? Drive (don't walk) less than a block from where you are right now and I bet you can find 6 places to get something to eat. And I don't mean just restaurants. Convenience stores are packed with food and drink. Gas stations are packed with food and drink. Need clothing? Readily available. And with the internet? Anything you need is a click away. Hell, you can sign up to have new underwear and socks sent to you on a regular basis. And why? Is it so damn hard to go to the store and buy it? No. But it's only less thing you have to do. Leaving you free to worry about **** that doesn't actually matter. And what happens if a mom and pop shop that sold underwear and socks closes because you signed up online? Well what do you care. You still get your stuff, no fuss no muss. Nothing is earned anymore. It's all just right there. With no appreciation of how it got there. Or what it took to get it there. It's just there.

Previous generations worked hard to make things easier for us. More convenient for us. Because we were supposed to make the breakthroughs they couldn't. That work they did would make it easier to do our work. So that we never had to scrape by just to make it to the end of the day. We were supposed to use that extra time to solve - or at least work on - the things they couldn't. To cure disease. End warfare. Raise the quality of life. To be great thinkers and builders. To take humanity into the future.

And what do we do instead? ******* squander it on watching netflix for 8 hours straight.

yup, scary ****. And folks eat it up. Heard one guy say he can't wait til the day cell phones are integrated into our bodies and run off brain waves. You and your damn phone should get a room.....and when you're done, OD on the crack you're obviously smoking.

New car tech is incredible, power and economy etc etc. But when a Hellcat engine won't start cuz it can't see a feedback from the tail light computer (as read in HRM this month), give me a frickin break!!

And yeah, the dummies driving around with a smart phone in one hand and a coffee in the other. Sure they might take themselves out of the gene pool, but might also take me or someone else with em.

I've made it my personal mission to fly in the face of this BS with a proud middle finger to it all. When I need to drive (distance over 5-10 miles, big load to carry or snow and rain), it's a 73 Dart. If it's not raining/snowing I'll take my bicycle or even walk. And not only is my phone not in my hand 24/7 , if I'm not driving a vehicle (which is often), it stays home. So good to be free of the electronic leash.

There is some amazing tech out there but if it frees us up only to spend more time with tech, what's the point?

Gimme a dumb car,dumb phone and dumb TV any day. As well as a night out to dinner with car friends talking to each other or hanging out in the garage and the only time a phone comes out is maybe to look something up.

OK, rant over
