How do you know it's driverless. Well, the lack of steering wheel and pedals is a good clue! It was developed by Cruise Automation, a company GM acquired in early 2016.

The car is riddled with sensors and systems, all designed for redundancy.

Safety is the name of the game, so it's fully crash-tested.

These cars are already testing on the roads of SF, so look forward to them hitting the roads for real in 2019.

The lidar unit on the roof makes it look somewhat futuristic.

It's remarkable how unremarkable this future car looks on the inside.

I Got an Early Look at Intel's Glass Packaging Tech for Faster Chips
Rahul Manepalli, right, Intel's module engineering leader, shows a glass substrate panel before it's sliced into the small rectangles that will be bonded to the undersides of hundreds of test processors. The technology, shown here at Intel's CH8 facility in Chandler, Arizona, stands to improve performance and power consumption of advanced processors arriving later this decade. Glass substrates should permit physically larger processors comprised of several small "chiplets" for AI and data center work, but Intel expects they'll trickle down to PCs, too.
