Anyone driving the twists of Highway 1 between San Francisco and Los Angeles recently may have glimpsed a Toyota Prius with a curious funnel-like cylinder on the roof.

Harder to notice was that the person at the wheel was not actually driving.

I rather stick to the Docklands Light Railway where there is no operator or guard, tried and tested. I've seen the results of these cars and there not there yet.

I agree they 'arent there yet' but its fascinating that a private industry has done in a few years what the automotive industry has been working on for decades... Wire in the roads
