You're saying MIT, one of the biggest scientific universities on the planet, who've probably been working on this project for YEARS, took inspiration from a fictional corporation in a very obscure, irrelevant video game series? Yea f*cking right.

On topic, this is the coolest thing in the whole goddamn world and I want one right now.

That is a cool gizmo. I can see myself being distracted, if I'm driving with that thing. If only it had a self-evolving AI like Kitt. Does it come in red?

Normally I'm not a "OMG, ROBOT APOCALYPSE!" type of person, but this thing worries me.

*Turn left in 300 yards. No, I don't see a brick wall where that turnoff should be, just follow my instructions.*

What's it going to do, verbally abuse it's driver? It's not like the things have any control over the vehicle.

Seriously? Were the smiling expression and glowing freckles even necessary?

That's probably the feature that's going to make this product look most attractive.

Who wouldn't want a cute face on their robot? Would you rather it have animatronic, expressionless eyes that follow you are you move around, showing no emotion or thought whatsoever?

To be completely honest, I'd rather it didn't have a face. AT ALL. The last thing I want to see when I'm driving around in the dark is a pair of red, smiling demon eyes staring right back into my face... and piercing into my soul D:

I agree with you with the face in the pic, but I wouldn't mind it having a face, but THATS not the one I'd perfer...
