The whiz-kids at Ann Arbor's Toyota Research Institute have developed a car that uses radar sensors and a laser scanner to collect three-dimensional data. That data is sent to oan on board computer that then analyzes the surroundings and then operate the car’s controls.
Twenty years later Skynet takes over the Earth.
Excerpt:
"Toyota is also working to allow a car to understand road and traffic conditions much as a human driver would—for example, by observing traffic signals. “That may, over time, evolve into a fully autonomous car,” said Templin. The research is motivated by a desire to “eliminate future traffic-related fatalities and injuries.”"
