Google Cars Drive Themselves →

The car is a project of Google, which has been working in secret but on vehicles that can drive themselves, using artificial-intelligence software that can sense anything near the car and mimic the decisions made by a human driver.
My first thought was where they got the technology. Turns out they hired (or already employed) the Stanford engineers that won the second DARPA Grand Challenge.

My second thought: what's the end game? Making cars safer is great, but "the Google researchers said the company did not yet have a clear plan to create a business from the experiments."

I'm just an ordinary thirty-something who's had some extraordinary opportunities. I graduated from Johns Hopkins University, work for Microsoft in Silicon Valley, code websites and applications, take the occasional photograph, and keep a constant eye on current events, politics, and technology. This blog is the best of what catches that eye.
