Baby you can drive my car - Episode 111


Listen Later

As automakers are continuing to try and one up each other in ways to stand out from the crowd, we are hearing of more and more automakers getting into the auto driving car segment.

During this episode, we touch on a few ways we can see this being used and also abused, so what sorts of security measures will we see to help keep kids from getting in a car and having it take them as far as there is fuel or electric? Time will tell, but we are looking forward to the future of this segment.
