Car drives you. And we are not in Russia

--[url=http://news.yahoo.com/driverless-car-navigates-berlin-streets-100609497.html]Yahoo stole this story from the AP[/url]-- wrote: The vehicle maneuvers through traffic on its own using a sophisticated combination of devices, including a computer, electronics and a precision satellite navigation system in the trunk, a camera in the front, and laser scanners on the roof and around the front and rear bumpers.

"The vehicle can recognize other cars on the road, pedestrians, buildings and trees up to 70 meters (yards) around it and even see if the traffic lights ahead are red or green and react accordingly," Raul Rojas, the head of the university's research group for artificial intelligence, told reporters at a presentation Friday.
Huh, now you can DWA (Drive While -insert ethnicity here-) and not piss people off.
Gabe, you should go and mess with the car. Get in front of it and then flip on a sign of a red stoplight.
