Not exactly real-world conditions, but a nice demo nonetheless. Maybe this is how they've been able to Street View so much of the world?
I wonder how long until we see the iDrive. I'd love to not-drive myself everywhere, it's a massive time-sink IMO, I could be doing better things in the same time period. I understand some people enjoy it, but I don't.
If you don't enjoy driving, there are alternatives such as public transportation for short surfaces, and trains/airplanes for longer. And I don't mean this in a bad way, I'm just saying.
It would take me several hours to get to or from work on the bus, and trains around me are both far away and quite expensive. Heck, it sometimes took the buses two hours to get me to school 3 miles away, when they're supposed to be coming by every 30 minutes.
I would if I could. Honestly. I want to get rid of my car. It's just not possible here, currently, while still being able to do anything necessary.
It seems like folks in cities, and some foreign countries, don't understand how much different the transportation situation is out in rural America. Getting to mass transit is frequently no easier than getting to your actual destination directly, even for non-trivial trips.
