No driver's licenses by 2040?
[ Tue, 18 Sep 2012 10:02:02 EDT ]
The timeline for autonomous cars hitting the road en masse keeps getting closer. GM's Cadillac division expects to produce partially autonomous cars at a large scale by 2015, and the automaker also predicts it will have fully autonomous cars available by the end of the decade. Audi and BMW have also shown self-driving car concepts, with the former working with Stanford to pilot a modified TT up Pikes Peak. Meanwhile, Google is ripping along at its own rapid pace with a fleet of fully autonomous Toyota Prius hybrids that have logged over 300,000 miles. And the company has pushed through legislation that legalizes self-driving cars in Nevada. California is close behind, and Google has also been busy lobbying joyriding lawmakers in Washington, D.C.

iPhone 5 pros and cons: Should you pre-order?

The team is not only using game technology to help us earthlings get an up close look at the latest mission to Mars, it's also using game technology to help better control NASA's robots and rovers.

Gamers get a lightweight laptop with real muscle

Gaming company Razer wants to change that with its new Razer Blade laptop -- a thin, lightweight computer that flexes a lot of gaming muscle.
