<VV> The future of autocrossing? (no Corvair)

[Mel Francis]

Right! Autonomous driving is being developed by most manufacturers, to help 
with
that most boring drive, the daily commute.  Just drive your route a couple 
of times
and the car 'learns' the circuit and then you can lean back and read your 
kindle,
shave, eat breakfast, apply makeup, all without risking the lives of your 
fellow
commuters, as some drivers do now!
