Ever wanted a car that could drive itself?

Ever watched "The Jetsons" or sat in traffic and thought, "I wish my car could drive itself." Well, we're only about 10-15 years away from that. General Motors has designed a pod car that will drive itself using GPS from smartphones, and even park itself. 

There's just one problem - GPS technology hasn't caught up with the GM technology, so we'll all have to wait a while. But once it's ready for production, it will be used at colleges, gated communities and "megacities" that are overpopulated and filled with pollution. And eventually, cities will have car sharing, sort of like the bicycle sharing big cities do, where you can check out a car and check it back in at another destination. 

What do you think about it?
