You are right GT, not to be mean to the younger generation but they have started to do dumb things and someone had to fix it. We live in a world that needs to be foolproof so that nobody does something that will put their lives and the ones of others in danger. I'm old enough to remember going out when I was 18 and had a case of beer between me and my friend in my dads car and we got pulled over by the cop only because he was bored. All we got was be careful guys and don't drink too much ! Nowadays they will impound the car, loose you license and get a criminal record...it had to come to this. Also in the context of technology, does anyone remember any phone numbers? We all have cell phones to do that so that we use our brain for other things or nothing. Just saying...

And here I was thinking that my car was a state of the art in terms of technology. I have adaptive cruise control which will slow down and even stop my car if the vehicle in front of me does so and will keep my car in between the lines(white and yellow), it will also brake the car to a stop if it detect a pedestrian or cyclist in my lane. Also will keep my door closed if someone will drive by and I try to open the door, so it will unlock if the coast is clear. It also has cameras all around so I can back up into any parking slot and be centered and parallel with the lines.

More then likely there will be self driven cars that will pick you up when needed and drop you off where you want to go. It will never be the same vehicle twice in a row or to pick you back up when you wish to come back home. Just saying...

Violet Summers...Hot in so many ways !

The way things are going now, the batteries life is between 5-10 years and the cost to replace them with the age of the vehicle experts are saying that we will be better to buy a new car. I do hope that they do something about that and like GT said they can only improve the technology going forward.
