Really? Autonomous driving that is likely to get you killed in a vehicle known to lock people inside their shitty cars during crashes and fires, for which there is NO customer support... Not my idea of a good time.

But I've never wanted to drive a video game controller, so there is that.

Better than bone spurs...
