...and it's being developed by a team from Stanford University, where some of K.I.T.T.'s technology was developed (Just My Bill).

K.I.T.T.: "Excellent school."

Cool.
Although i think its far ahead in time until we can see A.I controlled cars on the streets. Atleast 10-20 years.

Yeah, last year Stanley won the DARPA off-road. I remember that from a LONG time ago.

Google for the new Lexus cars. They can parallel park all by themselves (one of the newer models coming out or that just got released). I saw a TV ad for it but in the ad I swear it said "Prius" and not "Lexus". So check "Prius" as well.

AI controlled cars are possible. In fact, they developed one and it's on Your Tube:

There was another one on Yahoo but I can't find it. :( It was this reporter in it and the car was scaring the daylights out of him going like nearly 100. :lol:
