"Baby, you can drive my car: yes, really because the driverless revolution is on its way"


Link to Evening Standard

"You touch your smartphone, and minutes later the electric car glides to a halt outside your door. You step in, take a phone call, catch up on email — as the car drives itself north and over the Thames, on roads packed with other self-guided pods. Passing bigger driverless delivery vans and robot cleaning vehicles, the car brakes automatically to let a pedestrian cross, then stops outside your office.

"It’s science fiction, of course — though perhaps not for much longer. Yesterday ministers gave the go-ahead for Oxford University to test its RobotCar on public roads; other such prototypes will doubtless follow."
