Google is going to try to make their self driving cars understand that some drivers are jerks and that the self driving cars will be able to calculate a different route when driving near a driver who's a jerk. I highly doubt that it will be possible.

I think its really interesting that six flags is teaming up with Samsung to bring the virtual world of the VR headsets to some of their roller coasters. This will definitely bring more people to the amusement park for that opportunity.

Seems like lots of people got the back of the self-driving car--it wasn't my fault dude!

Interesting to see that as the number of connected cars is projected to go up, so is the pricetag!

A wooden car built with no nails or dowels to hold it together--wouldn't catch me dead (no pun intended) in that.

Six Flags partnering with Samsung to use VR to the park. Isn't a roller coaster called runaway mine train scary enough?

Comforting to know that I wouldn't be immediately incinerated if I was as close as 150 kilometers to a volcano. Tell that to all of the volcanologists who have gone missing by getting a little too close!

I wouldn't go on a car made out of wood without nails or dowels to hold it together.

a car that outruns a volcano? yea right!, and the fact that cars that are connected to wifi, or the internet will be up to 75% of the cars in the world by the year 2020 is crazy, i don't believe it!

I think its interesting that six flags and Samsung are partnering up to bring virtual reality headsets to nine different roller coasters across the U.S. The headsets are called Samsung Gear VR. I feel like the thrill of a riding a roller coaster will be way more fun and way more exciting, and the fact that you can go into a virtual world is an amazing and incredibly smart idea that will probably get way more people to go to six flags way more often.

This wooden car by Toyota is pointless and unnecessary.
