    “This will be a spectacular event if someone builds an autonomous vehicle that can travel 300 yards, no less 300 miles. That will be inspiring. It’s never been done.”

    Uhm… When I was 10, I had a Radio Shack ROBIE the robot that could be programmed to move without a radio control. It could go at least 300 yards on a charge. AND it could deliver drinks poolside.

    And the less said about “huge air-powered balls” the better.

    Haven’t we had computer controlled autonomous cruise missles since the 60s? Or are they only concerned with ground vehicles?

    Can we avoid links to sites that require registration? Or at least find a mirror?

    Can we avoid bitching about links to sites that require registration?

    The words of truth are always paradoxical.
