Meet Firebird III from 1958. GM designer Harley Earl broke his own styling rules. It had very little chrome and no parallel lines. The first car mouse control. A car mouse. It was going to be voice activated. I think you better sit down, because you want to own this car.pic.twitter.com/CPFEajg6dj

There are so many outstanding firsts in this automobile, that even 50 years later they are quite astounding. One is that either occupant of the car can drive! The controls are in the middle and the hydraulically dampened car mouse works just as well on either side of the car.

The idea of the self driving car has been around since the 1900s. Yet there was an abundantly simple way to do this as seen with the Firebird III and even earlier seen below. By placing sensors in the road it is actually less costly then any tech:https://twitter.com/BrianRoemmele/status/1167849264040439808?s=20 …
