computer controlled cars

We've seen cars with lane departure warnings and collision detection, but MIT is pushing the envelope with tech that can predict human driving patterns. The computerized intelligent transportation system (ITS) uses an algorithm created from modeled human driving to predict where human drivers are going to go next. ITS is also equipped with a system of onboard, roadside—which means States will have to build sensors into the roads—and traffic-light sensors to fortune-tell future conditions. While the computer can help a driver with stability control and traction assists, the car is...
