Who wants A self driving car ?

Well ,there we go.
That's fine as long as it doesn't replace real racing

 

Stuff like that will never pass regulatory muster.

Back to the original question... Yes.

I don't want it to never allow me to drive but there are many scenarios that I would rather have the car do the driving. Long trips? Yes. Having a good time at the bar? Yes. Commuting to work? U bet. It doesn't need to be fully autonomous. Reliably semi autonomous is just fine. Both Cadillac and Tesla have great starts on that. Nearly every new car now also has an option to have the car automatically keep its lane, and fully automatic cruise control...stop and start. I've driven several of these. It's not close to what Cadillacs super cruise or Teslas autopilot can do, but it's enough to give you a little more freedom and safety on a long trip on the highway.

 

They are here. Look up black fly on you tube

 

I'm not convinced that NASCAR is real racing.

Then there's this..

Also, some people are such horrible drivers that they need all the machine intervention that they can get. ​

 

Nascar is the WWF of racing. WRC is real racing.

 

Remember this one?

 

I've heard they're actually nervous about it. If we get to a point where the roads are 99% accident free, there's a very limited need for insurance. It could disrupt a lot of industries; insurance, dealers(ownership models will change), repair facilities, auto body, financing....

 

Yes, yes it is. I typically an not a big fan of any 4 wheel racing, but WRC definitely requires a lot more skill than turning left 1000 times in a row.

 

Before the Speed channel turned into the moronic Nascar TV channel my son and I loved watching the WRC races, then we'd run the rally courses on gran tourismo on the playstation. The rally races are also so much more fun to watch. The only thing that is interesting in Nascar is the crashes.
