RonJeremy Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 I enjoy driving too much to have one for every day use. But it may be handy to get to the pup and back. Perhaps it could be the saviour of the country pub. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyclone Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 I'd have one, although that would be the other half's car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geared Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 Interesting to see how it works over here, the test vehicles have worked well in the states but I wonder if they can cope with the way us Europeans charge around everywhere??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L00b Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 I'd have one, although that would be the other half's car.Would your other half have a say about it? Because I know exactly what my other half would tell me...and I can't post it on a family-friendly forum In answer to OP: no, and hell no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uptowngirl Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 I tried it on my way home last night. I let go the wheel and ended up in the ditch. So I'm not sure that it is a great idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spyrizzle Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 I've already got one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WallBuilder Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 Every so often you see stories of people blindly following their sat nav on to railway lines,into rivers or down tracks unsuitable for motor vehicles so I suspect the technology might be somewhat lacking still. So although it may not be a good idea for A to B traveling to the shops I'd imagine it could work on motorways, get on a motorway and tell it to take you to such a such junction.

Bonzo77 Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 I think we are way off this happening. I wouldn't trust a computer to navigate round the ridiculous road systems in the UK. It may work sooner in the US, where they don't have corners. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
