Funnily enough given your user name, Cthulu was a popular visualiser back in the DOS days of the 90s. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cthugha_(software) Edit: it was cthugha... my old brain is failing me :)

If autonomous driving is approaching a sophistication that is practically useful on a large scale shouldn't we first see it widely deployed for delivery of packages and food and the like before we see it being used to move much more va
