As I pointed out in my book, for thousands of years everyone had cars like this. They were called "horses." Horses have minds of their own; they know the way home as well as you do; and they are far more likely to shake you off and run away than any computer controlled car will be. Orders of magnitude more likely. Some are downright ornery. See my book, chapter 17: http://lenr-canr.org/acrobat/RothwellJcoldfusiona.pdf Note that Arthur Clarke made the point about horses before I did. He thought of everything. - Jed
