I buy cheap old cars and drive them till they die or get wrecked, whichever comes first. If the speed limit is based on car safety features, we'll really have a mess on our hands and government will then try to get involved in what I drive. Fuck that.

And what happens when all the idiot proof technology fails? People have become so dependent on it that they can't actually "drive" a vehicle anymore, they are just along for the ride.

Dude, cars fucking park themselves now.

We're about to turn out a generation of drivers that can't fucking park. God forbid they borrow an older car from some poor pleeb; they'll have to abandon it in the fucking street.

I know, thats my point.

There are soccer moms that can't park a hybrid escape in a 30' spot when equipped with back up sensors and a rear view camera.
Pretty sure I can (and have) parallel parked a 25' pickup pulling a 32' trailer in a spot with about 2' on each end when done.
