ORLANDO, Fla. -- A group of engineering students at the University of Central Florida have created a vehicle that is being called the car of the future because it can drive itself around town without remote assistance from humans."We will tell it to go out to McDonald's and it will go through the drive-through and we sit in the back and it will get our food," lead engineer Don Harper said.
A 1996 Subaru Outback has been computerized to back out of a parking space, navigate a roadway and stop at an obstruction -- without human assistance.
A USB drive serves as the car's brains, the engineers said. A route is programmed with directions and it is logged into the complex system.
