I don't get that at all. But I don't need a buffer. I hate all humanity equally, and I have to deal with the general public all day unfortunately. My buffer is me in my apartment wishing the entire human race would die off. Or maybe one day they'd magically all come to their senses and reorganize our entire civilization in a better way.

I've dealt with grid locked rush hour traffic, and it just stinks. I've also dealt with 2 hour commutes one way, and it doesn't matter how fun the drive is, it is just brutal doing it day after day.

As it is now, I'm 2 minutes from work if it is snowing or raining and I need to drive, or if I'm running late or being lazy. I can walk there in under 10 minutes. And I can take a nice quick 15 minute drive into the middle of absolute nowhere for some driving entertainment. The only downside for me is my last commute I could literally see my workplace from out my apartment window.

My vote, get rid of all the stay-in-your-lane beeps and nannies. But add a deafening alarm/siren/electical shock if the light turns green and you continue to sit there looking at your phone.

Oh i get it, like I said I'm the oddball out on this one. I've said before I probably should have been a long haul trucker, I just love being behind the wheel (or yoke, or handebars) of a vehicle.

I commuted 40 miles a day in DC traffic, about 40% of the time on my Honda GL650 for 4 years. Loved every minute of it.

"Hey CoPilot, take me to my favorite place."

"Screw that dude, we're going to the race track, I'm tired of this cruising the highway stuff"

Now that is when we have reached full autonomy in a car.

I was thinking the same! It would probably hound me for braking too early.

Whoa, I just got back from DC and don't recall any motos there or Arlington. You're brave but OTOH lots of DC drivers come from countries where motos are more common and may look out for them. J/K, my Lyft drivers were either homicidal or suicidal, tough to tell which.

Buy a MT as I believe this will place you in a unique environment where all drivers will keep their distance, see you as a "special" being.

I've emailed Australasian New Car Assessment Program with my question. Given they're the authority who looks after car safety performance in Australia I am looking forward to their reply. I am guessing it's going to be political in nature.
I'll let you know when I get their response.

As an aside I like the blind spot monitoring in the new Corolla, just a little yellow light in the side view mirror. A fairly unobtrusive assist for every day.

Studies have shown that the average person does not possess enough multitasking skills to be able to drive, yet we allow them to anyway. Auto manufactures are under continual pressure to make vehicles safe for the average drive.

Not sure I care what studies say, I mean scientifically bumblebees shouldn't be able to fly, but they don't seem to have any problem with it when they set their minds to it.

Helicopters don't follow the laws of aerodynamics, they just beat the air into submission.

I always heard it was because they were so ugly the Earth just rejects them.

I'm still uncomfortable with flying cars, though.

This one was claimed to be FAA certified (from the B737 Max inspectors?):
