Yeeeup, I’m driving the self-driving Cadillac from Memphis to Santa Fe. What do you guys want to know about it? I assume I’ll get pretty bored of sitting, watching but not driving.

Do hands-free laws still affect drivers in “self-driving” cars?

Did you bring a book?

Can a machine love?

First off I am very jealous.

How does it feel on the highway?

And how’s the sound system? Is it the new Bose Panaray or whatever it’s called?

My merc is equipped with traffic jam assist. Ive set the max speed to 20mph and have accidentally (unintentionally) fallen asleep for a mile or so only to wake up screaming and slamming my foot to the floor missing the brake pedal as the merc comes to a gliding stop behind a stopped queue of cars. It’s easy to get lulled into a inattention and distraction with these l2/ l3 driver assist programs that provide a false sense of security.

If you get a speeding ticket...who’s fault is it?

“Do you know how fast you were going?”
“Nope, wasn’t driving”

Does that mean you can go supersonic without using afterburners?

All those videos on YouTube of people claiming to be “traveling” not “driving” will actually be right someday :)

Technically you’re still supposed to watch everything while the car self-drives at this level. Do you think the boredom could distract you to the point that it is less safe than actually driving yourself?

Maybe I’ll end up loving the machine. But not Wert style.

Do you enjoy being watched by the little camera on the steering column?

I want to know everything, because that would be my DD if I magically came into a bunch of money.

That’s exactly what I think of when I hear about this feature. Great way to make people instantly disappointed when they find out the truth.
