Planes are go on auto a lot. You should know that. Fly by wire is also pretty big now. Person may be at the wheel, but they are at the mercy of the electrical systems.

If all the shit failed, you would have much bigger issues than transportation.

Never been on a train, no desire to. Rode the MARTA once.

They still have people, even if its all animated andthey jsut push a button. So when the shit hits the fan, they've got someone trained to try and save us. If it doesnt work, there will still be someone there. Same for planes. Still a fail. When it all goes auto computer, then you have a leg to stand on for that one.

And I am aware of the bigger issues if everything fails. All part of the zombie plan my friend. Cars arent even part of the equation as sooner or later there would be no fuel. Unless I hooked up with someone who could rig a solar vehicle but thats a different story. (And guess what, they'd still be operated by a person.) Still trying to decide where we want to put the concrete bunker for supplies and short term survival tho.

New jets are essentially one big computer. They may someone putting their hands on a stalk, but they are still relying on one big computer to actually control the planes.

If a human makes you more confident that the computer won't fuck up, you will always have YOU in the automated car to turn it to manual control and stop it from fucking up. I doubt they will get rid of that safety feature.

Personally I can't wait for the day I can wake up and get in my automated car and skip that whole commute bullshit.

I am still holding out for wormhole teleportation or some shit like that though. HA HA HA

Havent flown in years, but I repeat, theres still someone there that knows what the hell their doing and yes that does make me feel better.

I hadnt thought about that as far as the cars go, meaning the manual feature, but yeah that would be necessary and Id probably do the driving myself, depending on how things were (on rail systems or something would make cars pretty much completely obsolete, but if there were still actual roads, Id be driving.)

I can see the pros of having a car do everything, you wouldnt have to worry about idiots on the road in their cars trying to kill you, and you could get in plenty of sleep on road trips, but it would suck the fun out of it for those of us who like to drive just to drive and see what we can make our cars do. Goes back to the fun factor I guess. Whats fun to one isnt to another. I'll give you that.

I absolutely hate driving a car when it's not for fun. Hate it. Don't matter manual/auto/paddles. I would love to just ride when it's not fun.

I know some aircraft types with some airlines are required to let the plane land itself once in a while to keep the auto-land system certified. I once had a pilot announce before landing that the plane was going to do all the work. I still have no idea why he didn't wait till we were on the ground to say something.

It won't be a fun bunker unless it has manual locks on all entry points.

Wow, biggest threadjack ever.....

Wasn't this thread about KS buying a new car?

[Avatard]

You're not allowed to have a muscle car anymore.



Pisses off everyone, apparently. I'm now told I need to ride some automated tram?

Soylent green is made of people.

Logan ran.

Think I might too.
