Annalivia,your not too far off,the technology exist now for cars that will drive themseives,all you do is program your destination and sit back and read or work on your computer until you reach your destination. They will be using this in city cabs very soon. There are cars in the market today that will park themselves at the push of a button,even parallel park and put themselves in the garage. You can stay in the car or get out and watch if you like. The age of the Jetsons is not far off.

yeah I remember seeing the news shots of the self-parking car. what a boon when you take your driving test! or do they still make you park if your car does a better job.

They probably still make you park it,but your right that it does it better than we can.
