GM Cars-Technology

I read in the paper the other day that GM wants is working on a car that virtually drives itself. It's run by computers and GPS systems and knows where to turn, how to park, to avoid traffic in other directions and you don't even have to touch the wheel! Satelites will communicate with teh cars computer system. How crazy is that! I don't know how much I would trust that though. I would feel out of control. I'm not sure if it has an override system or not. I'll do some investigating.

Julie, I totally agree with you that I wouldn't fully trust this technology yet. However it is really cool to think about, and maybe it would save us on gas money because everyone knows how expensive that is. In your previous post it was clear you probably spend a good amount of money on how busy you are! So Im going to say I'd buy this piece of technology in a few years after the kinks are gotten out of it haha. Have a good day:)

I don't know about a car like that yet. I just think something that high tech, if it was to break be alot of money to fix.
