CyberCar

Juniper Foo | Dec 08, 2004

Fifteen European research centers have seen the future of motoring, and it is driverless. With 3,000 trial rides carried out successfully in the French town of Antibes, the CyberCar is slightly brainier than your autopilot airport cart, thanks to a pre-programmed route and a laser-sweeping device out front that avoids or stops at obstacles. Whether you're expected to get out and remove the offending hindrance isn't clear. But carjackers can kiss goodbye to nabbing this futuristic vehicle since there's no steering wheel to wrest control of. Then again, the golf cart-like CyberCar ain't no sweet-looking Toyota Lexus a la Minority Report.
