The self-driving scenario is definitely much closer to reality now, as automakers gird their technologies toward that ultimate purpose. As we at have tested repeatedly, the technology is indeed here in nascent stages and is improving rapidly. The combined brainpower of Detroit, Stuttgart, Tokyo, and Silicon Valley will not be denied.
