DBlume Aug 17, 2010 09:05PM saw another LIDAR Prius on the road near work. Doesn't anybody have humans drive their cars anymore?
halophoenix loves Aug 17, 2010 09:54PM these things - there are a few over here too, although it's a different research group.
DBlume asks Aug 17, 2010 09:58PM what? Government work? The spinning LIDAR thing grabbed my attention. Makes it stand out from the Google Street View cars.
davidd asks Aug 18, 2010 02:40AM robot cars are allowed on public streets? Really? Next time you see one maybe offer up some real-world challenges. Panic braking perhaps?
halophoenix says Aug 18, 2010 02:42AM the ones I've seen have humans on-board who ultimately have control.
halophoenix says Aug 18, 2010 02:42AM then again, with the systems already on the road in some Lexuses and Mercedes, panic breaking is no problem!
! It's funny because it's true!
