In Europe, so says Popular Science.

"Cars in Europe may soon become very much more robotic whether drivers

them to or not. New rules coming down from the European Commission will
require all commercial vehicles to be fitted with autonomous emergency
braking (AEB) technology by November 2013, and passenger vehicles
could soon
follow suit."

You can probably expect the U.S. to mimic Europe if the "It's for the
children" politicians are in power.



Considering that most "drivers" are busy texting, sexting, blogging,
twittering, chatting, updating Fecesbook or applying makeup, maybe this
is actually a good idea.


And then you got the over-60 crowd, most can barely pass a drivers test.


That's 'big' of you. Just remember that probably some day you will be
over sixty and then we'll see how you feel about your statement then.
There are good and bad drivers in every age classification.
