This “luck of the Irish” green Dodge Challenger Hellcat has a lucky 707 horsepower engine. Not many people here really know much about the Hellcat because Jalopnik didn’t report on it much and it’s not a Miata, but it’s actually a pretty nifty car. Anyone else going drinking tonight?
You know what would actually be a great way to get us car folk on board the autonomous car bandwagon? Reminding us that we could drive it to the bar in lovely fashion, and then it could return us home after we drink too much. I mean, that would be AWESOME! I wouldn’t be stuck being the DD all the god damned time!

No more taxis or Ubers. No more worrying about leaving your car at a random bar. No more DUI.
Imagine how much happier you could be during happy hour.

Taxis and Ubers would still be cheaper than buying and maintaining a robot car that would only be really useful in these one-off instances.

Allow me to rephrase: a car that you can drive, but can be switched to autonomous mode for the ride home.

The Will Smith iRobot Audi does sound tempting, but I just can’t see myself seeking out that extra AI option though. I have a masochistic side to me that kinda wishes everything went back to carbs. Also, if the hundreds of dollars of drinks ultimately end up on the floor of a taxi cab, it don’t bother me none.
