We are slowly getting to the point in America where we can be connected to the Internet and reams of data everywhere we go.

Of course, we shouldn’t have been worried: with 25 sensors, including five radar units giving a 360-degree view of its surroundings, two lasers from specialist Continental and GPS, all feeding data about the driving environment and any potential obstacles into advanced behavior algorithms, the Tahoe had more eyes on the road than the team did!
