On: Google demos driverless cars

[endtime]

Tight turns look cool, but they're not especially useful. When they can demonstrate robust resilience to pedestrians, consistently don't think a bird or pebble flying in front of the car is another car, etc., then we'll have something to celebrate.

I'm not saying they're not a lot of the way there already - they probably are - I'm just saying that that's the demo video that would be really exciting.

So, I took a test drive in one of these today.

They can do the hard stuff but the tight turns make for a more interesting demo.

I will try to post a video later.

Awesome, thanks, please do.
