Autonomous Vehicles

So, I’ve been thinking rather small lately.  Especially with that autonomous mixer idea, I mean pathetic, am I right :p.  I really want to go back to the reason I wanted to get into AI and multiagent systems which is making autonomous vehicles!  So, I’m sure everyone knows that car manufacturers and even Google and Baidu are attempting to make cars specifically that are autonomous.  This is great!  I’m arguing that before full consumer acceptance of this happens and to make it affordable and economical we need to make it possible for consumers to modify their existing car to make it autonomous!  This seemed to be the direction that the DARPA grand challenge was heading in.  So, I found that some graduate from MIT also had this idea a year or so ago and have already made a company with a product (their website, wired article, machine learning job at their company).  Obviously I’m excited about their product because of its simplicity and the fact that they are doing this now!  Seems like its is meant currently for highways though.  So, it still needs a lot of work.
