Calling it now

Waiting for the bus this morning, I watched a few cars go by, and my mind drifted to the self-driving cars in the news, including the recent no-steering-wheel google car. And it hit me what the killer app for self-driving cars is going to be. Sex

OK...

That sounds like a lot better use of traveling time than anything else I've ever heard... although I'm not sure I'll ever be able to get it working again once I read in your post about teeth severing penises. I'm really hoping that's never happened to anyone.

I admit that the concept of the self-driving car is very appealing right now, right after completing the three-day, 1500 mile road trip to NJ. Even given the imperfection of human beings behind the wheel, the idea of a totally computer-driven car worries me a lot. Considering how often my phone crashes, I don't know if I want to have a computer controlling my car hurling down the interstate at 70 mph. I think it's the total lack of control, mixed with how often Windows has bugs.
