Researchers at Cambridge University have developed a new system for driverless cars and autonomous robots that allows them to "see." It makes it way easier to track and locate humans for extermination. They didn't actually say that in the video, but we all know what's up.
 
That is quite brilliant. Probably one of the better concepts I've seen. However, while humans can drive on one sense alone (the most important one), the other senses do provide valuable feedback. The sound of the road, the feel from wheel..all "tell your something".

This is already a past achievement of automation. Your wheels when it senses you are skidding, hydroplaning and other 'risky' scenarios are occuring can and will auto-correct in new vehicles by increasing or decreasing individual wheel power and applying breaks as necessary. Your tires and all the related systems 'feel' the road much sooner than it's telegraphed to your steering wheel. That hepatic feedback is already done a lot by automated car systems.
