It Would Be Scary…

…If our cars could talk to us,, it would be pretty cool at first thought. They could keep us company on long drives, let us know when they needed service or an oil change and pretty much be one of your best friends. But what if you pissed your car off? What if it kept distracting you from your driving and what if it was just plain annoying? You know, like that annoying friend that we all have… yeah, not so good. I think actually if our cars could talk to us it would be pretty scary.

Most likely, accident rates would go up astronomically. You could wake up one morning, get ready for work, feel pretty good about yourself and the ensuing day, hop in your car and start it up and for whatever reason your car is having a bad day today. Well this means you are pretty much screwed and will have a hell of a time getting to work. Don’t even think about the other cars having bad days on the road. This would be pretty much lead to a whole new level of road rage. So you are in this pissed off death box just trying to survive on the way to work. You try talking your car down, throwing on some beach boys, etc… Maybe eventually you would figure out how to keep your car happy, but if you get a bad one, you may just be out of luck.

Besides getting angry, you may see cars having certain personality disorders such as ADD or obsessive compulsive disorder. You could be happily on yoru way to the store and all of a sudden your car takes over and starts heading to the park. What the hell!? Yeah, apparently your car just couldn’t sta focused enough to get to the originally destination. Or you are pulling into a parking space and your car won’t let you get out until you are parcked PERFECTLY, then you have 5 seconds to get out and lock the doors or your car will have to park somewhere else and do it all over again.

As cool as a talking car was in the great series of Knight Rider, I just don’t think it would work out too well in reality. In fact, it would be pretty scary.
