The car "talks" to other cars via cellular communication, senses proximity to other cars, pedestrians, cyclists, etc. and of course navigates by gps. Even if it only works on certain roads (like freeways), I'd pay big bucks for that. I spend minimum 6 hours a week on the highway. It'd be like adding another day to my week if I could sleep or work during that time.
Ever have you cell phone drop out? Your GPS freeze on you? Driving is too dangerous an activity to rely on electronic gadget IMHO.

I'm waiting (cringe) for someone to get run over by a car parking itself.

Just look at the Toyota fiasco.
