#NAIAS: GM Gives The Driver The Finger With Autonomous Bolt EV

Today, GM unveiled the first image of its upcoming autonomous fourth-generation Bolt EV-based vehicle – the “first without a steering wheel or pedal.”

The automaker also says that it filed a petition asking the DOT permission to deploy the vehicle as soon as next year.

The move represents an accelerated self-driving timeline for the company, which could potentially leapfrog most other companies working on the technology since the most common timeline is a commercial launch in 2020-2022.

Just because you can doesn't mean you should. A car or SUV that does not rust would have a lot more market value than a bubble car like this. Or putting an option or as standard, a heated steering wheel and front and rear seats would be highly attractive too. Roof racks that fold into a recess/cavity stamped into the roof to be more aerodynamic and quiet at speed. A vacuum in every minivan and a cooler too. ETC. ETC, ETC.

Hmm, well that was faster than expected. I didn't think anyone would try to sell a car without a wheel for at least 5 years.
