The idea of a car that can operate itself is an exciting prospect, but is it really a good idea? I feel as if relying on technology to the point where it takes you from point A to point B on its own, would only weaken society. Technology already runs humans lives more than they realize. People would be lost if they didn't have their cell-phones, or a GPS. Imagine giving 100 college students a map, and telling them to find x destination, without using ANY technology.
How many times have you been in a car with someone who doesn't read road signs, or highway markers. To a point you could make an argument that technology greatly decreases a humans capacity to think. Technology thinks for you, and that is a dangerous prospect I feel.
Technology should be a tool to humans, it should not be an answer. They should use the technology to assist them, not to do the entire job for them. Having a car that can take away all your needs to think, "problem solve" on how to find a location, would only weaken society. I say we bring back the horse and buggy and wagon trains.
