Driverless car projects: our pick of 10 favorites - DesignWanted : DesignWanted

There was a time when no one could imagine a driverless car would ever exist. But gradually, what we once thought was impossible has become a reality. The first autonomous cars are now commercially available! Although Leonardo da Vinci developed the self-propelled carriage in the 15th century, it was in the 20th century that the concept was realized. When Google announced in 2009 that it would start researching unmanned cars, the idea became even more attractive. Currently, several well-known companies are looking into developing semi-autonomous and fully driverless cars, which could result in significantly fewer traffic accidents.
