Self-driving cars...

One big thing I hate is the theft prevention crap on these new cars.

Try to start my Altima over five times without the engine starting, the ecu will shut it down. You have to tow it to the dealership, and have the ecu reflashed.

Also, there are many other little things that will trigger the NATs [security system] into shutting the car down.

I plan to buy the ecu piggy back controller, and shut that crap down.

Another one that's amazing that was never picked up during testing, is if you start your car, and only move it 10 or so feet and shut it down, trying to restart it up to 1 week later, and the engine floods. You have to floor it and play with the throttle until it eventually starts in a cloud of smoke. Not all cars do it. Mainly small cars.

They've got the Corvettes automated - Cobras next!!

All kidding aside - this is just a taste of where technology can take us and if nothing else, it's nice that an old racer who is now paralysed due to a crash will be able to do some hot laps again.

From the article ...
Acceleration and braking are controlled by sucking or blowing into a tube attached to a Freescale pressure sensor, while a cap fitted with sensors connects to in-camera cameras that detect head tilts to control steering.

One good sneeze and you're done
