Nissan to offer autonomous vehicles

I heard an interesting analogy on this once.

They compared the possibilities to people walking through a crowded area such as a shopping mall. There are people moving in every direction all at different speeds, yet no one runs into each other because we are moving slow enough that we can react and change. Applying the same concept to artificial intelligence and cars, we can effectively increase the speed of everyday transportation to seemingly ridiculous levels while simultaneously reducing, or even eliminating, collisions.
