[media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X0I5DHOETFE[/media] I don't know if some of you have seen this type of tech before, but I was amazed at seeing a Toyota drive itself, not over accelerate, and more then able to slam the brakes on a dime. Compared to other drive less devices I have seen before, they seemed to already have compacted the tech down in size. However, I think we need to think about this idea. The rate of the speed limit is some time's debatable, where traffic flow is not sufficient, and since robots do not usually like to disobey that, I can see this slowing the traffic down for this reason, especially if robot is tailgated, but driver is the one liable? Also, iccy roads, if this tech is perfected, black ice needs to be recognized, slamming on the brakes will spin you out on that. However, it probably is not going to be sold any time soon.
I bet it drives someone off a cliff by accident.
Well, that's that... :suicide:
I want one, but in an Aston Martin or something, now that would be badass.

Cannot wait for this to be publicly released.

If anything it will solve traffic jams mostly. It doesn't drive like an ass and thinks about every move. Traffic jams are not created by slow driving. Think about it. No more traffic lights to wait for, because they can handle it without. [url]http://www.wimp.com/trafficlights/[/url]

Add blade to that spinning thing, Instant helicopter.

What would happen in Construction Zones?
I sure hope this doesn't happen: [img]http://news.cnet.com/i/bto/20081002/snap.jpg[/img]
