A COMPLETELY SELF-DRIVING CAR IS IMMINENT
Saturday August 26th 2006, 6:24 am

Check out this video of the Lexus LS 460 self-parking!

The car also has a Pre-Collision System as an option. Two small cameras mounted at the front of the car, and a millimeter-wave radar, are sensitive enough to detect not just other cars, but also pedestrians.

A completely self-driving car is clearly imminent. Stanford’s Robot Car, which won the DARPA Grand Challenge, is also indicative of this prediction.

[UPDATE (9-13-06):  Chinese automaker FAW’s top-of-the line vehicle has a self-driving system.]
