With the dibble and dabble into artificial intelligence, social media bots, and more, it can seem like we are living through a sci-fi movie now and again...

And then there are self-driving cars...

Recently, San Francisco police faced an unusual problem, one that we are sure they are not used to facing. 

"An officer stopped a car that was driving at night with no headlights on, only to discover there was no one inside. The vehicle, it turned out, was a self-driving car..." (MSN)

The vehicle was stopped as the headlights were not turned on. Something that seems to have been the result of human error...

"Founded in 2013, Cruise has developed software that allows cars to drive themselves completely autonomously. General Motors owns the majority of shares in the company, valued at more than $30 million (R290bn) thanks to investment by giants such as Microsoft, Honda and Walmart." (MSN)
