Nice explanation – video doesn’t size right for the web page though – bleeds over the right hand menu column.

I’m not sure I want my computer to type what I’m thinking. What if I get distracted? The potential for embarrassment is huge!

Native Californians see nearly all stop signs similarly to the hybrid except the text reads “MY TURN!”
