This comes directly from Engadget (which by the way is one of my favorite Blogs!). If you do not subscribe to Engadget I recommend that you start. They seem to be one of the first places to report on just about anything technology driven.... Check out this new car that GM will be launching in just a few years!!!! WOW!!!
GM will launch self-driving car in 2008
This will totally give new meaning to the term auto-pilot: GM will be launching a vehicle with an actual
self-driving system in its 2008 Opel Vectra. That’s right — think KITT, people, but without the smarmy voice (well, we
assume, anyway). It will be able to pilot itself even in heavy traffic at up to 60 mph, which is more than we can say
for most of our friends, really. It’ll be using lasers, a video camera and a sophisticated computer brain to recognize
signs and detect obstacles. Let’s hope the OS it uses is, um, extremely stable.
