Just recently, Google debuted the latest prototypes for its self-driving car project. Driven entirely by smart Artificial Intelligence systems, these autonomous vehicles have now completed upwards of 300,000 miles of test-drives, without any reported accidents. Google has even been granted a patent for an advertising fee-funded transportation service, featuring these self-driving vehicles as possible future taxi drivers. And so on it goes: character and
