This vision of self driving cars from 1959 imagined electo-magnetic road implants to guide the vehicle. In 1979 USCSD in San Diego constructed a ~10 mile area of the 15 freeway for self driving cars. It worked flawlessly. Thus ~20 years later a fully workable version was built.https://twitter.com/BrianRoemmele/status/1167845775885230081 …
