@p00ntag First, its optional, options are always good, second its FUCKING OPTIONAL!!!!!!!!!

[Gnillob802]

I love when new technology is developed. It makes all the idiots panic. Well, if this makes you panic they have a piece of transportation just for you, its known as the short bus.

@Gnillob802 You're right, I did throw a tantrum. I was upset that I was trying to say new technology always has potential danger, and somehow you turned that into me being a neo-Luddite. It was my fault for letting you push my buttons. I apologize, Gnillob802. New technology is great, but recognizing the potential for danger is never a bad idea in my book. That is something completely different than outright rejecting new technology based on fear, something I never, ever condoned.

THIS IS JUST SICK :o

[Gnillob802]

@cocacola443 Well, you kind of did. I read all the comments, and you did. Just my opinion.

Back to the video, this would be amazingly cool if it ever became practical. It would be nice to drive your car and...well...not have to drive. Automated cars which can drive with no driver intervention from point A to point B would be really neat. One could nap on the way to work!

@SeungYeonFan Well, I'm not quite sure where I went wrong. I was merely pointing out that new technology can be dangerous. From there, Gnillob802 concluded that I stated we shouldn't have freeways, that I made some comment about Edison, Marconi, Bell and the Wright Brothers, and that I'm somehow a Luddite. How does "new technology can be dangerous" = "I'm a big baby and love to pout and I think we shouldn't have new technology?" I am irritated that he drew conclusions I did not support.

[SeungYeonFan]

@cocacola443 Gnillob was right, you are throwing a tantrum.

[Gnillob802]

@cocacola443  "And I threw no tantrums." As he stomped his feet and pouted.

[cocacola443]

@Gnillob802 It must be nice to live in your world, where you don't have to actually read anything, and you always win, even if the argument you won the opposing party never actually participated in. Even if you did prove me wrong, I'm not the baby. I understand how to form logical conclusions. And I threw no tantrums.

You still should go play on the freeway. It would do the rest of the world a lot of good. The only thing that's humorous is your inability to address any of the points I made. :-)

[Gnillob802]

@cocacola443 You're just a baby because I proved you wrong. Grow up and stop throwing tantrums. Though it is humorous for the rest of us.
