Now that is a Robot Car……. If they can merge this with Ford Sync – I will never need to date again….

You mean trying to think like Google right? 😉
I am sure this tech pre dates Google self driving.. As its not really self driving.. Its just following a set plan..
Windows has downloaded new updates! Rebooting in 10,9,8,7,6……AAAAHAHHHHHHHH NOOOOOOO
Now that is and example of how American corporate innovation has degraded. Why are there all those relays bars & levers connected to an existing car's infrastructure? Truly innovative thinking would have been completely outside the box and so much of what is on here would be unseen – I mean a bar attached to the gearshift to move it, really?!?
Well technically its replicating the human interface.. not supplementing it or trying to be autonomous.. it is trying to break the vehicle like the human would… more for durability testing and to take the human error factor out of repeated testing procedures…
If they merged it with ford sync it would probably stop working.
GM did this many years ago with a couple of Taho's. They were the only robotic vehicles to complete their journey across america in 2006. I believe it was 2006.
