Another car for the 1%.

Another car for the 1%. Is this really necessary? "Connected" may not be the future of cars. The Google self-driving car isn't very "connected". It doesn't talk to other cars, nor does it need to. It watches what's happening in the real world. Urmson, who heads Google's self-driving effort, threw cold water on the "connected car" people at a conference recently. All the effort on car-to-car communications is a complete waste of time for automatic driving.
