Controlled by your smartphone.

Some fuddy duddys will scoff, but their opinions won't matter. This technology will sell.

Of course the car backed into the parking space. It pisses me off that I can't even do that, let alone have a car do it on it's own.

Technology is getting extremely good at mocking the fuck out of us.

I foresee driverless taxis operated by credit card.

Someday.

It's crazy, but I can't say that I don't want one, at least to back into parking spots for me.

I can't stand people who speak like that? Every sentence ends in a question? She sounds like she doesn't know what she's demonstrating?

To be fair, she's not a presenter. She spends her life in a lab.

"It provides you a stress-free lifestyle." Uh, no.

I can start my car, open the doors and what have you from anywhere on the planet through my phone.

You can't tell me that anyone who owns one of these won't be hanging around every time to watch it park itself. Your not going to let your 80-grand car go off on its own into a dark parking ramp while it's got your name on the insurance card.

Not right away. Give it ten to twenty years.

By then, all cars, self-driving or not, will be communicating with a network to avoid accidents in the garage.
