You're wrong. Japan is also planning on introducing self-driving cars shortly.
- alwaysinshade 14y agoI think the parent poster meant cities where the road rules amount to a functioning car horn. The roads of Japan are nothing like Cairo/Istanbul etc. There are a lot of cars - but they drive in an orderly, predictable manner. On a related note: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yurikamome http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yurikamome In Tokyo they already have an automated transit system that is basically a truck on rails.

- nandemo 14y agoYurikamome is just a driverless train.
- alwaysinshade 14y agoIt's not a train in the classical sense - it has rubber tires. More like a truck confined to a rail.
