Dude you are my hero. I look forward to the day that I can sit in my car with my friends, smoking something, watching a movie, and letting the self driving vehicle wander around LA while we look for interesting places to stop and explore. I would never use my couch again. Edit: If tesla begins making showers I may not even need an apartment.

If you cared to read the article, it's a girl, not a dude :)

Thanks for the correction. The poster's comment was incomprehensible otherwise.

Except the article does not state that.

You don't need a self driving car to do this today, just hail a cab or get an Uber.

I'm all for rooting my phones, media devices, gaming consoles...but I think I'd stop short of rooting my car. I think back to the Toyota electronic throttle control system bugs--we can hardly trust manufacturers to develop robust automotive software on their own, long before rooting and customization are thrown into the mix. The media system modded in this post _should_ be completely separate from the "brains" of the car, but that's still not a risk I would take.

Dude can refer to any sex, in the US at least.

except for the "smoking something" part, unless you find a particularly accommodating uber driver.

So what happens when your app hits an infinite loop and locks the CPU? Or trashes some memory it shouldn't?

Does autopilot still work? Do the airbags still deploy? Does the brake still work?
