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 …

This is a part of DARPA which is the R&D branch of the Military Industrial Complex.
DARPA is also the main invester in alternative energies to create a more efficient military.
Things in this world are not what they initially seem.

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.

non-living stuff coming alive is the start of evolution, not evolution itself.
and has already been replicated in a lab. it happens only in specific conditions, this car complies to non of them.
evolution applies is anything that is self replicating actually (more specificity the , succesfull, mistakes made in the replication)
this car again is not that.

to MuslimGhost,
Derka Derka Muhammed Jihad Freaktards like you should not be allowed to live in Western societies (!!!) or use Western inventions, for example the Internet for that matter. Arguing with you is only wasting our precious time. There is absolutely nothing we can learn from you since you are on a pre-human level. off and please be killed by an American soldier!

hm, don’t you mean sonar? because what would sound response do on an automated car… play music in the car and the computers would overload and then you’d be screwed.

i think this car is badass. i don’t like the lazer scanner on the top. I would prefer to see an internal radar or maybe sound responsive. All that stuff on top kind looks ghost busters like.

No, that car would not evolve by itself because its NOT alive! You should go back to school. You sound like a crazy crationist. God doesnt exist. I mean give me one proofe that God exists?! And I mean a scientific proofe.

You need to shut up, all of you! Stfu! do you see why I’m Atheist? I came to see a car drives itself, rate nicely on it, mke a good comment, and get on with my life! You, MuslimGhost, need to chill, you are partially correct that we do have extremely intelligent brains that help us solve extremely complicated equations and trivia everyday, and we can easily put any information storing device to shame, but that doesn’t mean you have to take your “God” into this. So y’all need to shut up!
