Ahhh, this is along the lines of something I thought of years ago, called the;    IP-PHAT unit. ( Intelligent Personal Public House Automated Transport )
A car that I can drive to the pub in, on a Friday night, park up and enjoy my beers with out having to worry about how much I'm drinking or having to  keep an eye on the time for the last train or bus or even SHMBO.  Then when ready to go home, just sit in the passenger seat and push the home button and let the internet do the rest.

This idea was penned on a bar mat under the influence of toooooo many beers Grin Grin Grin Grin and by the time it comes, which at some time it probably will, I will have been long since in me coffin Cheesy

But that could be a good thing if they got it right. Cars could automatically set off and straight up to 70mph to where you are going. Buxton is a small town but it can take me 40 minutes to get from where I am in the sticks the 4 miles to the other side of it in a morning.

Big Brother?

The old phrase goes something like this....." you have nothing to worry about if your not naughty"

Do I really want the powers that be knowing where I am and for how long? NO I don't and I don't do anything naughty...... Chance would be a fine thing but don't tell mrs.k!!

How long before we all have to have trackers implanted?
