ib516 bought a new vehicle today
Factory order. Can't wait to sell our 2006 Pontiac Montana and get into it. Just in time for winter!

Going a little off subject, but since IB brought it up, I think it is ok.
I have been reading about some of those adaptive cruise controls. With the crash mitigation and lane departure systems, there are many vehicles out today that are for all intents and purposes, self driving. The technological advancements that are happening are just astonishing.
This has been on my mind too; I know it's silly to be "afraid" of new tech but my question is this:
What safeguards are built in to protect from a computer glitch, i.e. a sensor thinking in error that something stopped in front of you and slamming on the brakes when you're happily motoring along at 50mph?
I'm sure people about twice as smart as yours truly have thought of that so perhaps there are really good safeguards in place...in certainly hope so...
