Stunning progress in autonomous vehicles

[Jed Rothwell]

This year's DARPA "Grand Challenge" autonomous vehicle race was a triumph. 
Last year, no vehicles went more than a mile or so. This year, five 
vehicles finished the challenge course. See:

I shall have to revise chapter 6 of my book. Society is faced with many 
emerging serious problems, such as an energy crisis and war. This has 
spurred technical progress in many fields, except cold fusion . . . sigh.
