I just saw it. Yesterday I watched an incredible video about "cars that can drive themselves". This video was 3 hours 52 minutes and 19 seconds long.

This information is probably more current than what they are teaching at top colleges like Stanford University and Cal Tech. Tesla is headquartered in Fremont, California, USA. It is now building its biggest manufacturing plant yet, in Shanghai, China. The future looks very interesting.
