Yesterday, a Volkswagen Passat drove around a parking lot in Mountain View, CA, made three-point turns, and followed the rules at a four-way stop--all without human intervention. The computer-controlled car is named Junior, and it's Stanford University's official entry in the DARPA Urban Challenge, a race in which an autonomous car must navigate city streets, obey traffic laws, avoid obstructions, and, crucially, drive well among other cars in traffic. This test run is Junior's first public appearance, designed to let DARPA (the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency) test the car and determine if it proceeds to the next round in the Urban Challenge.

isn't the ultimate purpose for any car to have people ride inside of it? I mean, this car has no one inside of it while the video is being taken but the purpose of making a car like this would probably be to carry people. But, you know, if the idea behind a car like that was to carry supplies of some sort I'd be completely wrong!I wish i went to stanford and could see this thing in action too. self driving cars are pretty much the coolest thing ever.
