Came across this !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! last night while doing a bit of research and found it very interesting. This is something I’ve !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! in the past regarding how autonomous driving modes will bode with our desire to “beat” the other guy in our race to the office.
It appears Ford is on top of this with their selectable autonomous modes.

Yes and the academic world has also been heavily involved in performance autonomous driving.
The biggest bit of intrigue here, aside from this being a mainstream automaker, was the various modes identified in the patent. It’s nice to see an automaker begin to discuss, even if through a patent, the challenge with consumers accepting a single autonomous driving style.

“Racecar driver” assumes you’re doing the driving, though.
This just makes you a step below the guy who leaves all the nannies on when he tracks his GT-R.

You are legally an operator so Racecar Operator would be a better word.

I’m predicting in the next 20 years, the autonomous vs driver argument will be the new manual vs paddle shift. Why would you want a car that you drive when the computer drives it so much faster, people will argue. Ferrari will stop making cars you can actually drive because the rich idiots who buy them will want the faster autonomous version. Mercedes will kill all driver controlled cars. Driver controlled cars will make up maybe 5% of the new cars sold. The only cars that will not be autonomous will be cheap entry level cars for people to cheap to buy something autonomous, lower level 911s (GT3 will only be autonomous) and the Miata, the only sports car for people who like driving.

OOOOOOH! That actually sounds kind of neat.
