The Antiplanner was looking forward to seeing Volkswagen run a driverless Audi up the windy Pikes Peak Road at racing speeds last month. Unfortunately, this test was postponed by a crash — not of the driverless car but of a helicopter that was aiming to photograph the test. (Maybe someone should develop a pilotless helicopter.)
Meanwhile, Google has been test driving a driverless Prius in California. The car obeys all traffic laws and avoids collisions with other cars and pedestrians. (The one accident was when it was stopped at a light and rear-ended by another vehicle.)
