Way OT: Herbie is alive, for real!
Just when you thought robotic US Marines (bionic men) were cool.
The world's first self driving car is a reality. Why they didn't use a Beetle and paint it white I don't know.
Tho the 150mph Golf is kinda cool...Nick
"According to the UK Daily Mail, VW has produced a prototype Golf (code-named "53 plus 1" in a reference to Herbie the Love Bug) that successfully steers and accelerates itself at speeds up to 150 MPH on tracks designed on the spot without pre-programming. It sounds almost too good to be true given some of the problems CMU's prototype has had over the years, but perhaps VW has learned from and extended CMU's research (and within-an-inch GPS positioning probably helps too)."
