Here at GNC, we've seen a number of products that fall into the smart home category including the brilliant Philips Hue and
How long will it be before the new Tesla AutoPilot kills a driver or pedestrian. Or causes a wreck with injuries.. I want autonomous cars as much as the next person, but do not feel Tesla is ready.
