A research paper out of Japan has showed off an autonomous driving project that puts a humanoid robot in front of the steering wheel, in place of self-driving software. A robot chauffeur, if you will.
The robot driver, named Musashi, can “recognize humans, traffic lights, and other cars,” and will slam on the brakes if someone darts in front of the car. Here’s more from [@inversedotcom](https://flipboard.com/@inversedotcom ), along with a video of Musashi in action.
