Robotic Cars? What Next?????

Yehh, the title pretty much sums up this article.
For homework i recently logged on to the Beeb's technology page, and what should i see infront of me??

I decided to copy this article onto this post for you.

A driverless car called Boss has scooped a $2m prize in a Californian race for robotic vehicles.

Does this sentence remotely surprise you? That now there are cars that drive themselfs!
Boss successfully drove around an urban environment, avoiding other cars, and covering 60 miles (85km) in less than six hours, all without any human control. The modified Chevrolet Tahoe was one of six cars that crossed the finish line, from a pack of 11 robotic vehicles. The race was organised by the US military's Defence Advanced Research Projects Agency, and is designed to develop unmanned vehicles that could be used in battle situations. Automotive manufacturers say the technology could eventually lead to self-driving cars. (That sounds familiar??, wasnt that how the Internet started?? The American Military Needing something to communicate or fight for them?? whoever patent's this technology could be in for some serious CASH.) (Then A senior person in General Motors sais "Imagine being able to talk on the phone, eat your breakfast, handle your emails, and leave the driving to the vehicle," he added. "That would be pretty phenomenal. It's going to a big breakthrough. It's technology that's on the way to 'having cars that don't crash'." He believes cars with that level of intelligence could be on the road by 2015. (So my friends, by 2015 you may not even need that super fast fiesta you always dreamed about as a computer may be able to do it for you. But what springs to mind for me is, if technology is designed to make our lives easier, as this surely is, then surely we are all going to be very, very, very, fat by 2020. Also isnt there a certain fun in driving? Dont you love being behind a wheel and driving? I cant wait to pass my test and drive a car beacuse thats been my dream for a very long time. and also cars that drive themselfs, Lights that turn themselfs on?? what will be actually be able to do ourselfs arnt the next generation going to become almost dependant on technology. Ergonomics is the study of technology being implanted into a human to improve various features. To me this sounds absurd and already the topic of a heated ethical debate. If i ever have children theyre probably going to think i used to live in the dark ages.
Anyway, just thought id comment on something of interest to me really. Hope you find it remotely interesting and next post to follow soon. Comment me if you have any thoughts about what i have said in any of my blogs.
