If I could afford a helicopter and the copoius amounts of training needed I would probably do that. Sadly, that is not the case.

Who the fuck wants to take Greyhound to the Shushwap? Youre going to walk around? the fuck? What about kids?
What the fuck is the point of passing people on the #1 in the summer (single lane road) when you just end up behind ANOTHER RV/truck right away?
I used to have a crotch rocket and I made it my business to pass the world on that road. Guess what? All the people I passed, would pass me again when I was busy getting gas after riding like a dingis.
Lesson learned.

Let me put it this way. I have been driving that road for 4 years and the drive it boring if you drive slow, fast, aggressive, passive, lovely or spirited. I have to drive that road regardless and having the AI take over and take a huge amount of stress really does help. Instead of getting to the lake exhausted I get to the lake ready to go. Until you have it you honestly don’t know what I mean.

So how many helicopter trips from Alberta to BC can you take for the price of a P100D?This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
Since they are so cheap.
I think you are stretching bud, and I dislike Tesla’s and self driving as much as anyone

Not just for me, they want to set it up so that they could accommodate any other owners wanting to do the same thing.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
I’ve done Calgary to Kamloops and back twice now with the Mercedes semi autonomous system, for the boring parts of the drive it’s nice to let the car do all the work. So I do get where he’s coming from. Throw me on the 1A to Banff and I’m doing all the driving myself.
It’s no different than my day to day commute. Let the car drive itself on the long straights in traffic where there’s no opportunities to pass without driving like a dick, as well as bumper to bumper shit that just frustrates me under my control. Mentally, it’s definitely less stressful, and stop giving a fuck about others doing dumb shit on the road.
Honest question for killramos, do you enjoy being in control in say bumper to bumper traffic jams and other situations where you’re not moving forward and stuck in a train?

Great for him. Usually if people start a separate conversation about driving the opposite direction in a reply to an already existing conversation, they will clarify that. My apologies that I haven't been here long enough for it to be common sense that a member here owns property in Kamloops. Even though I didn't reply to him, and specifically replied to the guy saying Calgary to Sicamous, which doesn't involve Kamloops at all.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member.

Well with this kind of reasoning, why drive a car on the street with the minions at all? I mean if you can afford a Tesla, you can obviously afford a 100acre property and a build a private race track on it.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote

To be fair I’ll probably pony up for the extra sensors etc. in my next car just cause I like gadgets. Hard to say whether or lot it’s just a gimmick until I try it long term. Until then I maintain a healthy level of skepticism.
But those transportation pod concepts that you just sit inside while it ferry’s you around, that is what I take offence to.

Whats funny is that the #1 highway will be twinned from Golden to Kamloops right around the time autonomous vehicles come of age.
They would be useful right NOW as once the road is twinned, it will be much more interesting to drive for sure.
