These things are experimental. By the very nature of experimentation, things will go wrong. Ask Mercedes. Or Audi. Or Volkswagen.

It does show how far we have to go yet before even considering letting autonomous vehicles loose on our public highways.

Around 10 a.m. Wednesday, a box truck ran a red light and crashed into a black Argo AI self-driving car, leaving two injured, a city spokeswoman said.

That sort of accident will happen regardless of who, or what is driving

Quick, somebody call Brian France. This autonomous automobile concept is just perfect for him. He has been trying to eliminate any human personality from nascar since taking the reigns of nascar.

He will go to heaven a happy man.

Was probably a self driving box truck. Whatever that is.

I doubt it. I went to Cameron Corner and my satnav kept telling me to turn around when convenient. But, at least it knew it was lost.
