Not quite Bender getting in and driving off, but getting there!

Why leave the windows down?

I said the technology exists, I didn't say it was currently in place and useable... :)

I think it is so that if there are problems, they can get from one car to the next. Don't know for sure, but you do have to.

where would your insurance stand on something like that? i assume people still work at these automated centres, so you only need one to go through your car.
