I didn't realize this was legal yet. Who knows more about this?

I had heard about it some time ago. I swore they started testing this live in 2011 but the article said 2012 so guess I heard wrong.

Next time do your own homework maybe?

They have given out special testing licenses to companies that are making the driverless technology. Doubt it will be publicly available for years yet.

they've been working on this for 20 years that I know of. Use to see this in magazines in the early 90's

I remember seeing this awhile ago. Toyota was developing a system for it.

One of the coolest things I had ever seen was a show on PBS about this. Back around 2005 or so, Darpa held a contest to all the tech universities to come up with a self driving car. The teams jammed sensors and computers into Toyota trucks, GM Hummers, etc. The cars had to get from point A to point B travelling through the desert along a set path that was about 80 miles long or something like that.

The first year none of the cars got very far, but the year after most of the cars passed the finish line. The coolest part though, showed 1 car passing another car and overtaking the lead to win. You should have seen the team of programmers jumping up and down. It was amazing.

You could probably find this on youtube somewhere.

Fuck that I want the invisibility cloak.
