In my last 5 year in the forces I worked on this project. It has taken nearly 30 years to get it off the ground and the technology to get to the state where it can be used.

I find this stuff even more interesting. Boston Dynamics have been working with the military for years and some of the stuff they have is AMAZING.

as long as there is more than one vehicle on the road the "driver" has to remain alert and ready to step in if there is an emergency - the myth is that you will be able to do other shit instead

Canada Tesla driver charged over 'napping while speeding'

Canadian police said both front seats were fully reclined as the car drove at 150km/h.

How stupid is the human race that we can't share our planet and get along without resorting to this kind of shit.
