So it looks like these cars will never have ABS.  Guess I'll just have to slow down.  Bummer.

Technology in cars is moving so fast.  I was in my Audi A3 the other day looking to my left at a couple of idiots in the middle of the road trying to figure out if they were going to walk out in front of my car.  Suddenly bells start going off and my car brakes itself preventing me from hitting the car that had slammed on its brakes in front of me.

A couple of weeks ago I went to see my oldest son who just took his first real job as an anesthesiologist in Tampa FL.  He and his wife had just bought Series 3 Teslas.  His wife got the front wheel drive version that does 0-60 in a measly 5.2 seconds.  My son got the AWD dual motor version that does 0-60 in 2.9 seconds.  The acceleration is breathtaking.  My neck still hurts.  INSTANT pull.  Seamless with no lag and no sound.  And when we got on the highway, no hands or feet, the car completely driving itself.

Man am I getting old.
