I hate the idea of self-driving cars. This is not going to make driving any safer. And it takes away stick shift fun. :(
@WorldFutureSoc I know! Now ppl have to engage their attention by texting, eating, putting on make-up, etc.

Please hang in there Saab. <3
@efng well, part of that is because driving today requires much less attention than in the past.
Whew! Done with deadlines for a bit. I did not realize how much stress they were giving me.
@diskgrinder when you're ticking off "submit final semester portfolio" for grad school, that's a darn big tick mark.
