No 'ridiculous' self-driving car for guitarist and hot rodder Jeff Beck

Guitarist Jeff Beck revisits an old flame, a hot rod Ford he rebuilt himself before selling to a Los Angeles area aficionado. The prospect leaves the guitar legend and lifelong hot rod aficionado steaming mad. "There's driverless cars all over the place right now, with drivers in them," says Beck, cooling off before sound check on the latest stop of a tour he's co-headlining with his blues idol, 80-year-young Buddy Guy (next stops are Saturday at Maryhill Winery in Goldendale, Wash., and Sunday at the Woodland Park Zoo Amphitheater in Seattle). "Really, (autonomous cars are) the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard. I can't imagine wanting to buy one and those involved in building this should be locked up," says Beck, who is just getting revved up on the heels of news this week that Ford and Uber are both pushing aggressively to deliver self-driving vehicles.
