[QUOTE="barnyard, post: 1375946, member: 13921"] A friend of mine is a writer in the auto industry and he recently covered a tech session at MIT regarding technology and automobiles. Driverless cars came up and the consensus was that they are uninsurable, so we will probably never see them in the US. Another topic was increased 'safety features' in cars. Most of the experts stated that they believe that those features are making our population more dangerous behind the wheel as we are relying way too much on a warning beep instead of actually watching where we are going. A topic that was covered extensively was the lack of driver ed in the US. Most drivers go to school once, pass their test and never do another thing to make sure they are a good driver, have not picked up any bad habits and that they are staying abreast of changes in traffic laws. Some theorized that the day is coming, sooner rather than later, that everyone will have to retest every so many years in order to maintain driving privileges. I wish the guy I know would write an article on the event so that I could link it or cite it. [/QUOTE]
