Cars that park themselves is old technology - - How about a car that can drive itself?

We have cars that tell us if the air pressure is low in the tires using a technology called the Tire Pressure Monitoring System(TPMS). I know, the name isn’t very original, but it is easy to remember. Then we had cars that could park themselves using a technology called Intelligent Parking Assist System (IPAS) or a.k.a. Advanced Parking Guidance System (APGS), which was brought to the US in 2004 by Toyota. There are several other new innovations that have enhanced our driving experience over the past decade, but none will come close to what’s just around the corner…

How about having a car that can drive itself?

This cutting edge technology consists of a variety of well-established technologies including: lasers, radar and GPS. Companies have been developing and tuning the technologies to create an autonomous vehicle for years and based on some of the latest road tests, the technology doesn't have far to go before it starts to makes it way to the open market.
