Town Tests Cars Driven By Computers, Lasers

The Northamptonshire, UK, town of Daventry is being used as a guinea pig to test driverless "CYBERCARS" controlled by computers. The small electric cars, which use lasers to avoid crashing into things, are summoned by pressing a button along the route. The cars follow a pre-programmed route, like a bus. The project is part of the European Commission's research group CityMobil.
