    Still reading about the DARPA (Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency) Grand Challenge, a U.S. military-sponsored desert race that tests the endurance of robots on |news.com|. It's a challenge that taps the creativity, brainpower and funds of U.S. universities and private-sector visionaries as the military tries to push the envelope of artificial-intelligence technology. [a.k.a., have a vehicle drive itself!]

    Now the Prius has the electronic steering wheel (which it uses only for self-parking in .jp), and cruise control... How long do you think it'll be before they can get cars driving themselves a la Minority Report? :) I wouldn't mind seeing it soon, or as a HOV requirement.

    About the time car manufacturers are ready to assume liability for every auto accident.

    Never. :mrgreen:
