K-S....

I broke down and got The Beats...my ears are happy.

Listening to them and the Bose equivalents, I loved the Bass output but they could have done better with the noise cancellation but thankfully my trips on the metro have been a lot less stressful.

Google gets Nevada driving licence for self-drive car

Driverless cars will soon be a reality on the roads of Nevada after the state approved America's first self-driven vehicle licence.

The first to hit the highway will be a Toyota Prius modified by search firm Google, which is leading the way in driverless car technology.

Its first drive included a spin down Las Vegas's famous strip.

Other car companies are also seeking self-driven car licences in Nevada.


The car uses video cameras mounted on the roof, radar sensors and a laser range finder to "see" other traffic.

Engineers at Google have previously tested the car on the streets of California, including crossing San Francisco's Golden Gate bridge.

For those tests, the car remained manned at all times by a trained driver ready to take control if the software failed.

According to software engineer Sebastian Thrun, the car has covered 140,000 miles with no accidents, other than a bump at traffic lights from a car behind.


Bruce Breslow, director of Nevada's Department of Motor Vehicles, says he believes driverless vehicles are the "cars of the future".

Nevada changed its laws to allow self-driven cars in March. The long-term plan is to license members of the public to drive such cars.

Google's car has been issued with a red licence plate to make it recognisable. The plate features an infinity sign next to the number 001.

Really. Driverless vehicles. And "the long-term plan is to license the public to drive such" (self-DRIVEN) cars.

It could truly work for those without appropriate appendages/stature who need to 'drive'/get around.

Thinking through the insurance/legal implications of these cars... complicated?

The future should belong to people who can reasonably think and act for themselves.

I think I need a new obsession to get me away from AC...I will say this, its the game that prompted me to get an Xbox in the first place

Honest opinions -Which one do you think looks and sounds better? Microsoft's Forza Motorsport 4, or Sony's Gran Turismo 5. Same car -a Ferrari 458 Italia. Same track -Le Mans. Side by side. I like GT5. The interior shot on the 360 is more defined than it is on the PS3, though.
