Google's
self-driving car project is ambitious at heart--working with DARPA, Google is
aiming to cut the number of traffic-related fatalities by as much as half, saving
fuel along the way. But the badassery of the project has been kept
largely under wraps until now: This video comes from a demonstration at a
TED conference, and we can see that Google's robot drivers have the
cold, steel heart of a rally driver.
