i enjoyed watching the darpa-sponsored autonomous vehicle project over the last two years. now that went one better. the darpa urban challenge is looking for robot vehicles that can handle themselves in traffic.
here's a quote from a related article:
The vehicles must operate autonomously and obey California traffic laws while merging into traffic, navigating traffic circles, and avoiding moving obstacles. "The vehicles must perform as well as someone with a California driver's license," Tether concludes.
the finals are november this year. i'd love to be there to see it all happen real-time.
