Hah!

Actually, this now creates a whole new breed of bad Asian drivers. Those who didn't drive bad before (albeit very few) now will with the "help" of this auto.

It doesn't look half bad either (from this angle).]]>Sep 12th 2006 6:54PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/09/12/driverless-car-invades-china-threatens-pedestrians/http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/12/driverless-car-invades-china-threatens-pedestrians/Sep 12th 2006 7:04PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/09/12/driverless-car-invades-china-threatens-pedestrians/http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/12/driverless-car-invades-china-threatens-pedestrians/-Taylor]]>Sep 12th 2006 7:06PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/09/12/driverless-car-invades-china-threatens-pedestrians/http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/12/driverless-car-invades-china-threatens-pedestrians/

Hey let's keep this going:

Mexicans are all illegal immigrants!!

How's that for EDGY?! I should be on Mind of Mencia.

does it fill its own gas tank? can it handle low light/night time driving?

does two cameras mean one for forward and one for reverse?

I want to know more!]]>Sep 12th 2006 8:05PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/09/12/driverless-car-invades-china-threatens-pedestrians/http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/12/driverless-car-invades-china-threatens-pedestrians/
"I didn't know engadget was frequented by so many racist pricks."

At least we (the pricks) have the candor to make slight of fairly widely accepted circa 1993 stereotype surreptitiously without the need for overt, slanderous candor or even blatenly, unsubstantiated racist remarks about all persons of a particular race (i.e. Mexicans in your example).

I for one am ashamed of you Softgun. You have learned nothing from watching Mind of Mencia; your unwitty retort is not on the caliber of the typical viewers loyal to Mind of Mencia.

If you can't write anything witty, then don't write anything at all...Dee-dee-dee!

Why can't you "racist pricks" and "pedantic assholes" just all get along?

Stick to the topic people. Has anyone found any other articles in English for this new car. The only ones I have found are in Chinese.

Thanks.]]>Sep 13th 2006 5:59PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/09/12/driverless-car-invades-china-threatens-pedestrians/http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/12/driverless-car-invades-china-threatens-pedestrians/Sep 12th 2006 9:36PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/09/12/driverless-car-invades-china-threatens-pedestrians/http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/12/driverless-car-invades-china-threatens-pedestrians/

To this day and age I have yet to witness a car fuel itself, how can any selfrespecting dignitary fuel his own driverless car?

This just cannot be. But, China will overcome.

China must bring us the self fueling car next!]]>Sep 13th 2006 5:16AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/09/12/driverless-car-invades-china-threatens-pedestrians/http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/12/driverless-car-invades-china-threatens-pedestrians/

Jansens, its not really that its the first of its type or an amazing breakthrough. Its just that its designed for mass market not a standalone vehicle.]]>Sep 13th 2006 8:54AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/09/12/driverless-car-invades-china-threatens-pedestrians/http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/12/driverless-car-invades-china-threatens-pedestrians/

OK ok ok so you just basically said, "my genuine racist remark was morally/cuturally superior to your sarcastic racist remark" hahahahah


*snort*

hahahaha

oh man. You went all "geek" and tried to be verbose about racism. You're like one of those bad awkward characters on "The Office" or "Arrested Development".

Oh and btw Mind of Mencia doesn't teach anything, just FYI. It just makes fun of ALL races (a twisted form of affirmative action)...and, that's it. It doesn't break through any barriers or stereotypes - if it did, THEN it would be teaching something. And in case you didn't get it (which you di'int!!) then you would have understood that I was clowning/oversimplifying Mencia's humor - even though I still watch the show sometimes > : )

It is not about race. My girlfriend is Asian and she has never been in an accident. It is about experience. Mass ownership of cars is a new phenonemon in China and therefore cars are being driven by people who not only have no prior driving experience (think teenagers on learner's permits) but, more importantly, don't even have experience as car PASSENGERS on crowded roads. The average westerner knows quite a lot about road etiquette long before they're old enough to drive.]]>Sep 13th 2006 4:58PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/09/12/driverless-car-invades-china-threatens-pedestrians/http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/12/driverless-car-invades-china-threatens-pedestrians/Sep 13th 2006 9:25PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/09/12/driverless-car-invades-china-threatens-pedestrians/http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/12/driverless-car-invades-china-threatens-pedestrians/Sep 13th 2006 10:10PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/09/12/driverless-car-invades-china-threatens-pedestrians/http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/12/driverless-car-invades-china-threatens-pedestrians/Sep 14th 2006 2:56PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/09/12/driverless-car-invades-china-threatens-pedestrians/http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/12/driverless-car-invades-china-threatens-pedestrians/
