Hacker News Reader

It fits with the theme of the article that no one outside of this circle has heard of them. It takes people a while to notice huge progress.

I also think robotic cars are really going to sneak up on us.

Just reading the title, I thought "oh cool, an article on anybots". But, yup that was the point. No one knows.

hehe... yeah, a year ago I polled a couple of co-workers on when we would have self-driving cars. One said 50 years, one said never. :)

This is one of the reasons I have my ear to the rail on Hacker News. People wander in from a lot of interesting circles.
