Or for this senior citizen who may soon find driving in the dark or for long journeys a bit beyond her. I don’t suppose driverless cars will be able to negotiate our narrow country lanes, they’d end up in a ditch trying to pass oncoming cars; there is lots of manoeuvring backwards and Frikohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04277167831642088694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4274393531253464864.post-45882584051070501552018-01-23T17:46:32.020-08:002018-01-23T17:46:32.020-08:00I had no idea Humans was still on TV.

One of the reasons Ihave a small SUV rather than a sedan is for that purpose. I don't want to base my life on what the guy in front of me is doing, rather what the guy five cars in front of him is doing.
