The next wave of computer crashes?

[pbray]

Google received the first driverless license permit in Nevada. Yes, it's a self-driving car, no human required.

While I understand that most accidents are caused by human error, and I'm not entirely comfortable sharing the road with AuthenticHuman-SurfingWeb-TalkingOnPhone-LookingatGPSNavScreen-WhileDoing80mph, I can't help thinking about how often my computer freezes and crashes. Not to mention all those great GPS-aided accidents as drivers blindly follow GPS instructions to drive into lakes, down staricases, on closed roads, etc.

In 2012, I suppose it's not a flying car, but it will do.

Now, Google and the scientific community at large, you have three years to give me a damn hoverboard! (I don't care if it's the pink Barbie model.)
