and am sure we've all seen the car on Top Gear as well which reverses and parallel parks itself! On Wed, Oct 21, 2009 at 6:08 PM, Gitonga Eric <gitonga@egmgem.com> wrote:
Peter,
Check out http://bit.ly/B2qm5. DARPA has a challenge every year for driverless cars that I'm sure falls right in the category of what it is that interests you.

@Karunyu,I'd be suprised if that's what Omondi does. Nice thinkin though,however me thinks thats overstretching technology. Wat happens after reversing? Probably you switch to front cameras n drive the car off while standing outside!
@Jared, LOL! Its been a dream since I saw that James Bond movie where he was driving this BMW with a nokia phone, recently re-ignited when I saw this top gear episode where richard and james and some kid were racing real life remote controlled cars. They were using these huge remotes, kinda like the ones used for model planes.
Then there was this other movie, i forget the name, where this mercedes had cameras on the rear bumpers with the feed displayed on the dashboard. And yet in another top gear episode, jeremy was drooling over this mercedes which had infra red cameras on the headlights which made visibility at night much much better.
And dont you think it would be "interesting" to have cars with real time radar, collision detection, ejector seats, auto pilot...
And anyway, if the USAF can do it with the drones, wouldn't a car be a piece of cake?
