not sure what you're impressed by? you know nissan or whomever it was allowed you to drive a car via a webcam online like a while ago now right?

tweeting sequential commands, i think that is cool.

in some ways, its def the wave of the future. a simple command to make your car do lots of automated things

GOLFFRR · 01-30-2011, 11:22 PM

pretty expensive car (CL 550) to test it on gzz.

I was waiting for it to hit something. I can't believe they decided to test the parking feature next to an SLS, seriously? Even though an SLS is the ugliest car mercedes has ever made, but still.

I like the SLS

Does that SLS at the end have Georgia plates??

NYCMCBM3 · 02-20-2011, 09:20 PM

thats really cool

this reminds me of how computers used to work on a command basis before window was around and DOS was main stream. Over time a system like this (the principles should allow for a car to do some pretty cool stuff)

I guess that's probably why I'm not impressed haha, that's the computers I grew up with. Simple commands do simple things.
I mean to compare this to the car I mentioned above. Controlling something via a webcam is exactly like controlling via twitter..you just process the commands in such a way.

It's a nice first step, I suppose, but I feel like this could/should have been done a long time ago.
