This is certainly the bucket I fall in. I feel we are sliding into the same future TVs have arrived at: You get the 'smart' version whether you want it or not.

I like the idea of a self driving car for most of my trips, but I also love to just go for a drive sometime, and it feels like the later has its days numbered.
- ixwt 5y agoI've thought for a while now that driving a car (and probably gas powered cars) will go the way of horses. A leisure activity that some will enjoy, but will pass from the conciseness of society with time.
- GekkePrutser 5y agoI wish we were there. I hate driving. If my car could actually drive itself competently and I would be free to do what I wish eg read a book or watch a movie like any other passenger, I'd be very happy. I don't really want to ever drive again. But a computer looking over my shoulder and second guessing me makes the process of driving even more awful and complex.

I imagined, that a 'smart' car would briefly show you ads on the windshield before agreeing to follow the course, and while on the go, would then time-to-time briefly shade the windows (or whatever is the primary outlet of attention) just to show you another personalized ad. Time to step out? Wait a sec, another ad, just to unlock the door... Captive is the word.
- anubiskhan 5y agoI hate you for saying these things that I now believe will come to pass. And here I was thinking the ads that autoplay at gas pumps were bad... :'(
