C'mon MIT, That's No Future Car

Smart mobs mentions in Smart cars that MIT is going to present some research on a moving collander the car of the future:

Actually it looks kinda cool. But, they didn't say the magic words... robotic driver. They kind of hinted at them, though, maybe, if you lean your head in the right direction:

Rather than mere transportation devices, cars of the future can become our wheeled companions that continually learn about the city they inhabit, and use that knowledge to provide an intelligent interface to the resources the city offers. “Our hope is to invent a car that can function as though it has a good London cab driver built in,” says Mitchell.

If MIT isn't going to come out and say it, who is?

MEEEEE!!!
