Pretty soon it'll be like the kids cars at Disneyland where the steering wheel doesn't really do anything...

I love cars and I love driving...

That being said, there's also something to be said for how technology could make us safer too. My Q5 doesn't have all the new tech that Audi is putting in to their higher end models (night vision pedestrian detection, for example)...but all these technologies can help in some way, shape or form. Right now they are expensive and not worth doing on a large scale.

Though I know to look when I change lanes, something like the blind spot sensors I have in my Q5 would have been really great to have in my Camaro. One of the biggest downsides for the 5th gen is the lack of visibility, especially on the right rear.

A truly automated traffic system would be more efficient than what we have now...maybe not as fun though
