   The state of the
   art is that machines have been built that can wander around in an office
   environment without getting into too much trouble, drive off-road for
   short distances on a good day, and drive on-road at 20MPH in a benign
   road environment (rumors of 60MPH at CMU - info?).

That's right, 55 MPH for about 22 miles.  The machine stayed in one
lane, and a person had to take over when the style of the road
changed.  It was the left lane, because there were exits from the
right lane and the system gets confused when presented with a fork in
the road.  It was a van steered by a neural network; the network was
trained by watching a recording of the scenery and the steering wheel
motions when a person drove on a road similar to the one that the
network eventually drove.  Check out Dean Pomerleau's thesis at CMU,
if you want more details.

This is at best marginally relevant to sci.nanotech.  Followups to
comp.ai.neural-nets, which Pomerleau reads (but I don't).  Pomerleau
looked at this post before I made it and agreed with my summary of his
work.

When they took the fourth amendment, I was silent because I don't deal drugs.
When they took the sixth amendment, I kept quiet because I know I'm innocent.
When they took the second amendment, I said nothing because I don't own a gun.
Now they've come for the first amendment, and I can't say anything at all.
