[ExI] self driving cars again

[spike]

OK, so it really was an obvious idea.  All my ideas are either old or crazy.
I thought this one might be crazy, but turns out it was sane and old:

Stanford's Self-Driving Car Tears It Up On Racetrack - Tops 120 MPH

Just as Google's self-driving Prius goes for distance, recently passing
300,000 miles

-miles-employees-to-start-commuting-with-it/> , Stanford's self-driving Audi
TTS instead has the need for speed. The Audi, known as Shelley, sped around
the Thunderhill Raceway track north of Sacramento topping 120 miles per hour
<http://news.stanford.edu/pr/2012/pr-shelley-autonomous-car-081312.html>  on
straightaways. The less than two and a half minutes it took to complete the
3-mile course is comparable to times achieved by professional drivers.
