Microsoft Counting on Total Connection and Varden Goes Cute

Microsoft is investing on the assumption that driverless vehicles and connected vehicles, and supportive infrastructure, will all happen at the same time. Indeed, even pedestrians will have to be connected - via phone, fitbit, or connected watch - to alert vehicles of their presence. 

What about dogs? Ten year olds playing street hockey or ball? Will they all require a chip before leaving the house?

The vehicle looks retro, not innovative at all, but the technology makes this video worthy of a couple of minutes of one's time.

I wish I were with one of these sweet people in the Varden driverless golf-cart-like vehicle. Except not with the guy who clearly is looking for action.
