Driver-less car in high-speed rally assault
 
STANFORD, California — Imagine driving at top speed on a steep, winding mountain pass in the Alps, or the Himalayas, or the Rocky Mountains.
Now, take your hands off the steering wheel and cover your eyes. Or grab a camera and take some pictures of the snowy mountain peaks. Or send a text message to a friend describing the scenery.
You'd skid off the road and plunge into a deep ravine within seconds, right?
Not if a group of graduate students at Stanford University can program the car to drive itself.
