*nod* They solved the control-loop problem, but (because the car was doing the driving, not the human) not the user-interface issues I was thinking of. One advantage to that approach is that the cars (as you menioned) can be more closely space. One disadvantage is the reluctance so many of us (including myself) have to trusting the equipment quite that much.

Was that one of the systems that required the roadway itself to be "smart" as well? I know someone tested a design that was entirely car-contained and autonomous, but I think that was more recent and only prototyped in a single vehicle.
