Researchers are creating a self-driving car that could only cost $150

You might think that something as futuristic as a self-driving car would set you back a large sum of money, but researchers in the U.K. are attempting to build one for the cost of a few tanks of gas. Right now, their RobotCar comes in at $7,750, but they believe they can reduce the price to $150 (!) before the project is over. With a price tag like that, you won't be getting a fully automated vehicle from day one. Instead, the car will pay attention to how you drive your chosen route and eventually learn enough to take over. Maybe that isn't the "Jetsons"-style robot servitude you had in mind, but hey, you get what you pay for. [Source]
