Okay, so what's a Car-Bot? You're familiar with military defense drones, aren't you? You know, airplanes that fly without pilots? Well apply that same thinking to cars, as in cars that drive without drivers. Yeah, you say, as that's already been done before, so this is nothing new.

Well, maybe--but so far it's been used only in very experimental applications. What I'm talking about is Car-Bots for the masses--as in going mainstream. A Car-Bot in every garage, so to speak.

BusinessWeek has an interesting article on the possibilities of what Car-Bots might be able to do, and as to where this Car-Bot thing may go. Check it out here and here.
