What's especially laughable is the article's mention of robotic lawn mowers. I happen to have bought one today, and those things (although admittedly there are models that are more intelligent) just ride around randomly until they hit a hard object or the perimeter, which is signaled by a wire that is dug into the ground. An 'autonomous vehicle' this is not (or only for the most basic definition of the concept).
