Chris Gerdes Director for the Center of Automotive Research at Stanford, gave a talk at the TEDxStanford. His main point was that if a car was to be completely autonomous, it should at least be comparable with the very best human driver. This in turn means it should be able to reach high speeds without flinching.His claim is that that a vehicle should be able to go upward of 150 MPH without error.
During his time on TED , Chris made mention of Futurama, an exhibit at the 1939 World's Fair. Contrary to popular opinion, this is not merely a Matt Groening directed cartoon. The Futurama exhibit was sponsored by GM who at the time promoted self driving vehicle as part of a futuristic society.
Real life examples of Autonomous car driving include the one mentioned in the video. Google obtained the right to "Drive" their car in the Sate of Nevada. Just for Chris Gerdes reference,we pronounce it nəˈvædə not the other way. You can check out the info on how Google obtained licensing for that particular project
