The SARTRE project which "aims to develop, test and validate
technology for vehicles that can drive themselves in long road trains on motorways" is now a year into their 3-year investigation, and have released an interesting 8-minute video highlighting where they are so far.
I found it informative, interesting, and refreshing -- these are clearly smart people who are not naive about the challenges facing their project, and are considering the many human variables that can happen in real world traffic.
Like the Google Car, I think this is supremely valuable to the end user, who can now spend her time doing work, reading, eating, etc.
Unlike the Google Car, this seems more achievable in the short term, since the judgement calls are being made by human drivers, not by pure software.
