Driverless future car is around the corner

T
he high-tech, superconnected car of the future is coming soon–but who will pay for it, and who will profit?
The Lexus SUV barreling down Silicon Valley’s Highway 101 is much like any other, save the $65,000 laser sensor spinning on the roof like a nerdy propeller beanie. Capturing 1.3 million bits of data per second along with video feeds and radar pulses, the car’s computers can “see” the vehicles around us and keep us clear of them. Which is a good thing. Because no one is driving.
