A car that will drive itself??

Imagine just relaxing, reading a book or even taking a nap while you are driving!! It's a project called SARTRE which stands for Safe Road Trains for the Environment. The system wirelessly links a line of six to eight cars behind a professionally-driven lead vehicle like the cars of a train. On the road, an in-car navigation system would let you know what convoys were nearby and where they were going. You could choose to join one of these convoys and then had over the controls so your car just follows the lead driver. When you need to leave the convoy, you just move into a different lane and start driving again.....COOL!! Read more here.
