Brother site Jalopnik reports a new Italian GPS-based system that lets automobiles steer themselves with an accuracy within 50 centimeters. That’s probably good enough for high-speed highway driving, but the self-parking car will probably have to wait a bit longer. The sooner they can develop a system that enables me to sleep off Mountain Dew hangoevers while cruising cross-country, the better.
