So I'm amused. I made the SXSW conference, in this talk by my former colleague Chris Urmson at Carnegie Mellon University, who is now leading Google's self-driving car project.
I'm the chubby guy on the left at 1:20min in this video holding the "California or Bust" sign, at the start of our "No Hands Across America" trip in a self-driving minivan we built over 20 years ago.
Those were fun times. It's really cool to see that research finally coming to fruition, on the verge of (hopefully) saving lives - if they can get the cars to stop driving into the side of busses :-).
