Yeah, Just wait until your new automated automobile parks you in the far corner of the mal parking lot or you have to try finding your way from the secured parking area on the 24th level of the airport parking garage to the departures lounge in the third airport terminal.

Six robots finished the race. It was sixty miles of urban driving where bots had to negotiate four-way stops with each other, pass each other, merge, obey all traffic laws, stop lights, dot dot dot. Stanford came in second with Virginia Tech in third place and M.I.T. taking fourth. -- Blue skies. Dan Rossi Carnegie Mellon University.
