[QUOTE="clean hairy, post: 1629784, member: 55223"] Some thoughts not discussed so far. Just how much will this technology increase the cost of a car and the rigs? Secondly, say a sensor detects a low tire, or overheat condition, will it pull over and shut down? As humans, we see the temp gauge creeping up, or low tire sensor comes on, and an exit a mile ahead, we will continue and stop at the gas station. Will the sensors make the same conclusion? Also, I am guessing the early version of this will have an option where the sytem can be turned off and driven as we do now. How many folks will elect to turn it off and not use it? Sure would like to see with the self parking cars during the Holidays at the Mall, 1 parking spot, and 2 cars trying to access the same spot. One benefit there might be, is that Taxi Drivers may no longer be able to take you on a scenic tour of the city to run up the meter! [/QUOTE]
