A '''self-driving car''' is an automobile that requires no driver, and has been a very popular topic in science fiction at least as far back as the robot cabs of [[Robert Heinlein]]'s ''Between Planets''. The US Government's [[DARPA Challenge]] produced some credible self-driving cars, with teams from Stanford and Carnegie-Mellon winning prizes in 2005 and 2007.

A recent contender has been [[Google]], which recently announced it had tested autonomous cars (with a safety driver) on public roads. [http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2010/10/what-were-driving-at.html]

* Scientists and engineers have been designing autonomous vehicles since the mid-1960s, but crucial innovation happened in 2004 when the Pentagon’s research arm began its Grand Challenge. [http://www.nytimes.com/2010/10/10/science/10google.html?_r=2&partner=rss&emc=rss&pagewanted=all]
