Robot cars drive themselves 130 miles in the desert

Nova aired a program last night about humans spending millions of dollars to build robot cars that can drive themselves completely unaided by people.

One of the scenes showed one of the vehicles going crazy and driving towards a group of camera men. The only thing that stopped it was the concrete barrier between them.
