saw another LIDAR Prius on the road near work. Doesn't anybody have humans drive their cars anymore?

  what? Government work? The spinning LIDAR thing grabbed my attention. Makes it stand out from the Google Street View cars.

  robot cars are allowed on public streets? Really? Next time you see one maybe offer up some real-world challenges. Panic braking perhaps?

  the ones I've seen have humans on-board who ultimately have control.

  then again, with the systems already on the road in some Lexuses and Mercedes, panic breaking is no problem!
