Down Under

Volkswagen's Temporary Auto Pilot makes for a self-driving car Thanks, but no thanks! This kind of technology is going to make people very lazy and reduce the skill levels required to operate a motor vehicle. I work in an automated environment and I can tell you that whilst the technology is mindboggling it does from time to time make mistakes and if that happens on the road the results could be catastrophic - especially if the driver has lost or never gained the skills required to get themselves out of trouble ? or worse gone to sleep as a result of being so mentally inactive! I can see automakers setting themselves up for massive litigation claims if they go down this road ? no pun intended:)

Lamborghini Gallardo destroyed to protest bad service [video] I desperately wanted to put my F?ing Australian made F*rd into a scrap metal shredder for the very same reason but could not afford to do so but happily for me customers are voting with their feet and walking away from this soon to be extinct piece of crap so I guess we are winning the fight. Good on this bloke for shaming this manufacturer and I cannot understand people condemning him for this. A real dog act would have been to sell his lemon to some poor bloke who could not afford to keep fixing the shitbox!
