Ford Testing Autonomous Cars in The Dark, Wants You to Be Impressed

Driving a car in the middle of the desert at night without any headlights is easy for any driver. The trip becomes a little more challenging if there are obstacles the driver has to avoid, and harder still if there's a road to navigate. At this point, most humans (those without immediate access to a high-quality night vision system) might start to have some trouble. Robots, being much better at this whole driving thing than humans are, don't really care whether there's daylight or street lights, as some recent testing from Ford demonstrates. Google, for the record, has been testing its autonomous cars on public roads in California after dark for a while now. Or at least, Google has been testing at night, which is not quite the same thing.
