Man, if I had to put all the crap on my car so it could drive itself:1. It would look ugly2. Can you say goodbye gas mileage?3. Something would get stolen4. I know it's a testing vehicle so a real car wouldn't have all that crap on it

Batman Begins was the best Batman flick so far. I'm really excited for the next one.

I dunno I know each year out in some desert a bunch of tech guys put on this huge race.It involves taking trucks or SUVS, filling them with all this self driving equipment and essentially having them run a race int he desert. Their support team follows the car of course but the whole goal is to get the car across the line unmanned. It's some kind of endurance race, saw it on History Channel once.
