  1. Sounds great! Wow, fantastic. With that I can switch to cruise control mode!



  2. Mike from Florida Cars

    Will your car drive itself? I have to answer that! If you’re looking for a car that drives by itself, buy a Toyota!



  3. Vik from DUI lawyers GA

    hehehehe Now this would be really cool. :) I bet it could be a GPS navigator. :)



  4. Vic from Move my car

    It seems unbelievable. A car driving itself….. It is possible but before that we need proper infrastructure.



  5. patrick from anuncia no google

    This car is the strangest and most beautiful I have ever seen!
    Must be super tech, and I really like it! I do not expect this to have a one day to walk in the street, but surely for a collection


  6. The car looks cool but seems weird if its going to drive itself. All these crazy technologies, in no time we won’t have to do anything anymore!



  7. Andreas from PlayZone

    I think that cars with the ability to drive themself would improve the security of our traffic system very much. Even alcoholic people could drive anytime they want as they don’t have to drive themself! :)



  8. Sharon from Philadelphia Divorce

    I wish and hope this will be true one day. I want to get in a car with a push of a button and it takes me where ever I need to be.


  9. This is funny! Look at the photograph of the bubble sitting in the driveway! This is just so exciting, my thoughts are running wild. So do we mean that I can rest whilst the car drives itself. What about drink driving laws? Will this mean the end of traffic violations, and the need for licenses. Wow!


  10. This would be really helpful if cars can drive us when we’re tired. Especially people don’t have to drive drunk.


  11. This would be so cool since we have to many drunk drivers now days. So dangerous.
