Zero accidents, all of your data – what The Reg learnt at Bosch's autonomous car bash

remote control

"using a touchscreen to control the shutters on "your house" and check the contents of "your fridge" definitely feels – let's be honest – pretty damn cool."

Why do these control systems always assume that people are sad, lonely people with no family? Closing the shutters on the house remotely from in the car is likely to piss off any of my family who are at home. Likewise me monkeying around with the heating controls or lights.

Is this something normal people want or is this something the ultra geeky, ultra nerdy engineers and marketing people who can't get a girlfriend want? (NB, deliberate stereotyping!)
