    Why not jump straight to the self-driving car? Eliminate all accidents since a computer would handle traffic. I could then also work or sleep on my way to the office and wouldn’t get frustrated over finding a parking space because the great traffic brain would find the closest one for me. There is sarcasm in this comment.

    As long as it will poke someone in the #ss with a hot poker for every time they don’t use a turn signal or talk on their phone and drive like they are 95, I am all for it.

    From some of the drivers I see, if they hooked up the brain wave sensors, all they would get is a flatline!

    Cars come with turn signals? What will they think of next??? Liked the hot poker idea. By driving like they are 95 meaning going slow, I see people going WAY too fast, cutting EVERYONE off and not caring, I can drive slow & not care either!

    As if… I agree that there are way to many drivers out there that would never get a read off the brain impulse cap, & not only that, how in the world is the car gonna gut off the cell phone for miss priss who has to take to her girlfriends & what about Joe Bob whose on his first date & Bobbie Sue is wearing a see through top & has some bounce going on – what kind of brain waves are they gonna measure in these type situations – they got a lot of testing still ahead & I think they need more than 5 drivers & a military vehicle to get it worked out….

    Anyway, if they do & I am 95 I will want one!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOL Oh, does it come with cruise control too???

    Actually, I’m not French. But I was in France early this year and I too fell in love with the car, and have put down the deposit. I have a 57 mile highway commute in the NY Metro area with NO mass transit as a realistic option, and would really like to cut costs of driving by parking even my little SUV.
    Sure, there’s a chance of too many monster trucks on the road, but heck no ones going anywhere fast on these roads anyhow.

    Stay tuned for more!

    This is nonsense. You can’t compensate for lazines, carelessness, and stupidity with a smart car. First there were calculators so dumb people could do math. Then we have the computer so dumb people don’t have to think or spend time researching things. We even have E-Harmony for social impotents who can’t find partners on their own. Now we have the smart car so morons can drive. If the human race is so incapable of performing basic functions, maybe we should just eliminate them and have machines take over the planet.

    Those who want to travel but not drive should either ride with somebody else or use mass transit. God gave us brains which, when used, can get us to our destinations quickly and safely. If you drive a tiny car like I frequently do, just assume that the SUV’s around you are going to do something stupid. They won’t disappoint you.

    Big Brother doesn’t want you to figure out anything for yourself. The socialist left says you are incapable of taking care of yourself so the government and a plethora of computers will watch over you instead.
