Very neat!!
I wonder what the button next to the P button does...
He also seems to have a digital display next to the speedo.

wow that's scary & great @ the same time. I hope that people will be required to still learn how to park a car before they get a license! cuz if the computer messes up (and I can guarantee, with software upgrades it will mess up, lol) they won't know how to park and dat's alot of damaged BMWs. and that no good my friend

A valid point.
Another thing is that it seems we get more and more computerized and the role of the driver gets minimalised. We already have sat-nav that tells us wich way to go, active cruise control that's making sure we're not crashing into anyhting, automatic wipers that start when the rain starts, automatic headlights. We will become more of a passanger then a driver.

What do you think it's log before u enter a car and u tell the destiantion and the car starts the journey all by itself? Black boxes in cars is a subject well discussed in our days...we will for sure be in less control in the future (actual driving, what we want to do with the car (race it from time to time or "abusing" in a way), less talking about important secrets in cars and so on...)
