thoughts, opinions, blatant statements of love or disdain?

I'm much more interested in what GM's working on:
Its uses the entire windshield as a display for the HUD, and instead of drawing your attention away from things associated driving, it actually directs your attention to things such as signage. And identifying the edge of the road could be extremely helpful in poor weather and/or at night.

Notice the man never touched the steering wheel, that is the only way the system would be practical. MB is already touting that it is the car line for people who shouldn't be driving....notifys when sleepy, brakes automatically when traffic ahead of you stops, watches your blind spots and tells you, boots you out when your bank account slips below setpoint........
