10 years away?

I have told some of you I though cars would be driving themselves in 10 years. I knew people were working on the technology(DARPA challenge), but I didn't think they were anywhere close to translating it to the streets. Then I saw some of these articles.

I still think it will be closer to 10 years than 5 before these reach consumers, but my dreams of lighter traffic are on the way(probably another ten years before we git rid of these people driving cars though).
