I just finished reading an article about Google's self-driven Prius (http://www.smh.com.au/digital-life/cartech/google-tests-car-that-can-drive-itself-20101011-16eew.html). I want one! Make that two!!!
I really do not like to drive. What's there to like? The back pain, the tension in the shoulders, the eye strain, or the utter waste of human time. I would prefer to spend my time in a car on more productive and enjoyable tasks like:
- talking to friends and family
- reading
- sleeping
- watching movies
- surfing the web
- etc.....
I truly hope that this type of option becomes available in the next 10-15 years. Partially, to free me up for more enjoyable tasks during the commute, and partially, to protect me from crazy drivers and their talking-on-the-phone-while-drinking-coffee-and-driving-a-stick-shift behaviour.

I saw that self-drive car on tv; very impressive!
I love to drive. For me, a leisurely drive is as soothing as a good book -- especially if an audio book is playing while I drive.
It is true that long distances can become tedious. That is why short breaks enroute are important. Even then, for the most part, I really enjoy driving.
