Driving Ambition

I just read a brief article from Wired Magazine about a self-driving car. I think those are pretty amazing when all they're doing is driving alone across the desert with fifty miles of open space on either side. But this one's going 70 MPH on California Highway 85, which is an alternate (here's Wikipedia's take on that road) to Highway 101. And, alone? Not hardly. They're surrounded by traffic - merging, speeding, slowing suddenly. Buses, cars, trucks. The car can handle it. It even knows enough to drive slightly to one side to get away from a looming bus.

Sounds hairy. Sounds fun.
