but do any of you remember a Top Gear episode where Volvo demonstated a crash free car and it went straight into the back of a HGV trailer, very funny clip; hope they have improved their technology.

I think they also found a video of a Mercedes S class doing pretty much the same thing...

crash preventing sensors...hmmm Fit them on the doors so if they park their Volvo's too close they can't get the doors open!

we really need to make a stand about this type of technology now and tell them to do one. I do not want a self drive car under any circumstances. A licence for the government to exercise even more control over us.

I didn't buy either of my cars to be a passenger, except when coming back from the pub.
