 GM's Driverless Car
Easy enough for a child to operate, this latest
innovation makes commuting a snooze. It parks,
passes, speeds up, slows down, plots the route
and can even arrange its own financing. Thousands
are currently being road-tested on the nation's
highways (with mostly good results). Crash-proof
operating software provided by Microsoft. Advance
orders now being taken for Cadillac Transporter
($69,000), Buick Cyborg ($39,000), Chevy
Droid ($31,000). |
