This is a possible way for some Self Driving capabilities for Slate

Comma as a whole is pretty neat, in my opinion. At minimum, a cool proof of concept. It’s difficult to find pure data on whether it is safer or not than a human driver, but my biases lead me to believe yes.

That being said, I’d be willing to bet $$ it won’t be compatible with the Slate. At least not a standard “gen 1” Slate, without significant modifications.

Forcing a square peg into a round hole.

The idea is stupid.

Exactly what I mean.

Hasn't the steering been mentioned as electric power steering? Possibly a relatively simple hardware upgrade could enable that part of these systems, but I think the sensor part is where it would be lacking.

Yeah, it's not for me.
Actually, I enjoy driving -- from quick grocery runs to cross-country road trips.

Me too. Even my tractor, which tops out at just 13 MPH in 4th gear "H". * never taken it cross country though, just to be clear.

Well then I agree with ya.
