Driverless Cars Tech Article 10/9

Toyota has become the latest car manufacturer to test a driverless vehicle on a public road.
The car, a modified Lexus GS was tested on Tokyo's Shuto Expressway, where it carried out a range of automated manoeuvres. These included merging into highways, changing lanes and keeping intercehicular distance.

Nissan has promised to put an automated car on Japan's roads as early as 2016.

Google is already testing its self-driving cars on US city streets. And Tesla chief executive Elon Musk said in July his company was "almost ready" to make its cars go driverless on main roads and parallel-park themselves.(article)
