I respect this man’s enthusiasm for his new Chevy, but he needs to focus on eating and not making models out of the dinnerware.

From the HuffPo:

The California state legislature just moved that dream a little closer to reality by approving a bill paving the way for driverless cars to be allowed on Golden State freeways.

The bill, authored by State Senator Alex Padilla (D-Van Nuys), was passed by the state Assembly on Wednesday and then given the overwhelming thumbs up by the state Senate the following day.

If signed by Governor Jerry Brown, Padilla’s bill would legally allow autonomous vehicles on the road and charge the state’s Department of Motor Vehicles with determining the standards for self-driving cars, rules which current do not exist under the present vehicle code.

The future is now, it’s cool, but it’s scary too.

Tecnabob: BMW Patent Shows Manual Transmission That Won’t Let You Pick the Wrong Gear
Where the hell is the fun in driving a stick-shift car where there’s no danger in hitting the wrong gear?
If you’re someone who doesn’t know how to shift gears, maybe you shouldn’t be driving a manual transmission car.
People interested in fool-proof car shifting are also skydiving into huge piles of marshmallows and paving their own roads so there’s no danger in crashing into other cars.
BMW’s tagline is ‘The Ultimate Driving Machine’.
A little less so now.
