AutoX Slaps $50 Webcams on a Car to Make It Drive Itself

By this point, a modified Lincoln MKZ driving itself around San Jose isn't anything special. With more than two dozen companies are testing autonomous tech in California, what's one more joining the pack? Not much, until you find out what's missing on the sedan cruising down the highway and winding through city streets at night. No radar tucked behind the body panels. In fact, according to Jianxiong Xiao, the car navigates using nothing but a handful of cameras he bought at Best Buy for $50 a pop.
