The Car that Drives Itself

I just saw an incredible news story on TV about a car that drives itself. It uses GPS and for "fine-tuning" has a spinning dome on top of the car with lasers scanning the surroundings. It has a nearly perfect image of all sides of the car, simultaneously, which is something humanly impossible. The car steered and accelerated on its' own, at rather high speeds, around an obstacle course, with perfect results. According to the inventor, the driverless car is not far away. It is invented by Sebastian Thrun of Google.
