"Car, Do a Burnout"

The following is a MediaNote Classic. It was originally presented to MC101 classes in January 2015.

It's unclear whether traditional car makers like Mercedes-Benz want to build a self-driving car, but if they don't Google and other tech companies will. So the self-driving Mercedes-Benz F 015 concept car was introduced this week at the Consumer Electronics Show and the car maker released this short video to give us some idea of what people can actually do inside a self-driving car.

Questions...

•What media capabilities should a self-driving car have?

•Should self-driving cars be controlled through smartphone apps? Why or why not?

•Are self-driving cars good for Uber? How about for Zip Car? Are self-driving cars good or bad for the auto industry?
