Self-Driving Cars in Virginia

Having grown up in Virginia, I generally keep tabs on Virginia news, especially when it comes to self-driving cars.

This story from ARLNow about a fake self-driving car in Virginia is a little silly. But it’s also bizarre enough to make me wonder what on earth is going on.

I assume that the Virginia Tech Transportation Institute is running some study on whether drivers will even notice self-driving cars. Mission accomplished on that one.

The follow-up tweet by Adam Tuss of NBC is the best. “I’m with the news, dude!”
