How about the fresh water-main break I experienced the other day?
It required stopping and making a U-Turn on a 5-lane.
If the car would "not allow" this, would I sit there waiting on the phone for Audi tech support?
What if I didn't have the phone with me?
It's my car. Paid for.

If those thugs in a 1970's Cutlass were trying to carjack, or shoot me, I'd like that option.
Um, please.
I know I'm being argumentative here, but the gist is that technology will never cover all the possible driving scenarios out there.
-If it does cover 90%, that is still not enough.
-If it does cover 100%, you might as well cut up the Constitution and call it "mass-transit".
