Yer so right! Those of us of a certain age remember the Disney Tomorrowland segments on Sunday nights which illustrated the occupants of self-driving cars (including the driver) playing cards while being whisked down the superhighway at 80 mph. Unfortunately, many dingbats think that day has arrived, equipment or not. We have Eyesight on our Legacy, and it is great, but the thought of relinquishing anything to an automatic nanny on the BRZ just seems antithetical. Who would want their twin telling them what to do? The other way around is the nature of things, isn't it? As Tcoat's tag line tells us, from Scripture: " . . . because racecar." You can't be a distracted driver in a Twin -- you'll kill yourself and several others in a second.
