hai people There I was sitting at the bus stop and I noticed a copy of the Auto section from the Telegraph (March 8 Sat 2003) so I picked it up, and on the back cover is an article on a a Mercedes truck called the Failsafe Truck that literally steers itself.
There is this 2/3 page picture of a man sitting in front of a laptop on top of the trucks steering wheel and another terminal in the passenger seat. First thing that came to my mind was "bet its running windows", how wrong I was. On the laptop there is KDE and on the other machine mounted in front of the passenger position with the green icons looks like a copy of SuSE 8.1. To be honest this isn't new news there have been reports in the past year about Mercedes using Linux but its fun to see such a large picture in the paper.
