Such a Thing as a Free Ride

Pennsylvania lawmakers got free rides - driverless rides - from a an adapted Cadillac that Carnegie Mellon University folks have transformed into a driverless vehicle.

By the way, the quick route included jaywalking pedestrians and traffic signals. The Caddy successfully navigated the busy route for willing members of the General Assembly as well as the mayor of Harrisburg, where the demo took place. Harrisburg is the capital of Pennsylvania and the city was hosting a safety conference this week.

I tried to get a video, but no luck.

I did get a video of a self-driving dump truck that doesn't even pretend to need a driver. There's no cab, no driver's seat, no steering wheel. It looks like a toy.

A bonus

I do not get the science and math, but here is an explanation from PCWorld about Nvidia's upgraded AI self-driving technology.
