Topic	How do you feel about SELF-DRIVING CARS?

Yep. I hate to come off as an "internet tough guy" or "social media tough guy", but I will never be told it is illegal to drive my own cars in this country. I will shift, throttle, brake, and steer myself until God reunites me with my wife. I feel very strongly about this, like to the level of from my cold dead fingers, mother fucker. Manual transmission fanboy, huh? Yes sir, although I do own some automatic cars, too. Just not a fan of the computer controlling shifting because it doesn't always do what you want it to (such as dropping gear into a power band when you want to.) The stock factory tunes are always really conservative (for the sake of the average consumer), and that includes shift points in the transmission. Autos are really coming out on top in modern cars for drag racing, though. The advantages that manual had over auto in speed are disappearing as automatic transmissions become lighter, more aggressive gearing, and more accurate feedback for shift points etc. Still, for the driving experience, I like to row my own gears. It's part of the the whole equation, I feel like. --- Hoppe hoppe Reiter, und kein Engel steigt herab mein Herz schlagt nicht mehr weiter, NUR DER REGEN WEINT AM GRAB <cite>MannerSaurus posted [p:893968265] in How do you...
