VW to eliminate worst road hazard: drivers  In 2028, the car you
won't drive won't be yours  Autopilots and angels  Huhnke
defined two different types of assistance for two different
scenarios. "Under-challenging the driver — it's really boring,
you're just in a traffic jam — and over-challenging the driver,
when it's extremely dangerous." For those under-challenging
times, the autonomous car goes on autopilot. For the over-
challenging time, it becomes, in Huhnke's words, "a safety
angel."  To help in both types of situations, a car needs
sensors. Huhnke identified a few that already exist: multi-beam
lasers, rear and front cameras, radar, and "supersonic" sensors.
Add to those car-to-car and car-to-data-repository wireless
connections, and the holy grail of autonomy becomes attainable.
Huhnke gave one San Francisco–related example of autonomous-car
convenience. "Imagine you're at the Fisherman's Wharf parking
garage. I usually have the kids with me and they're really
annoyed by waiting. And we need to drive
