Driverless car eliminates nut behind the wheel

Researchers at Carnegie Mellon University in Pennsylvania are putting the finishing touches on their version of a driverless car that lays the groundwork for computers to replace humans in the driver seat within a decade. As you watch, think about those sensors on the outside of the Cadillac SUV. Will they see through snow and ice? It’s been known to snow in Toronto. And, sadly someone has to tell the car where to go. That is, give its computer a routing. There doesn’t seem to be anybody else except the hapless human to do that. He’s the same nut behind the wheel who causes most accidents.
