    I frequent the Bay Area (Cali) and wouldn’t dream of taking a car without some semi-autonomous driving features. Sitting in traffic while the car brakes, accelerates and steers is the best.

      As a lover of manual transmissions, I think that would make me feel very strange.

        It’s takes sometimes an hour to go 15 miles up hills on 680 in the bay. My competition clutch car can help me enjoy the canyon roads, but my “self driving” car can take care of my “grindset” driving.

          I used to drive all around the Bay Area with my Honda del Sol. Ah, good times. I miss my twenties.
