<p>Is there anyone not working on developing autonomous cars?</p>
<p>Google, of course, has been the high-profile leader in the field, not just developing the vehicles, but shelling out <a href="http://www.baycitizen.org/transportation/story/google-car-zooms-toward-legal-status/">big lobbying dollars</a> to make self-driving cars street legal in three states. But the search giant isn't alone. Volvo tested self-driving cars in Spain <a href="http://blog.laptopmag.com/volvo-tests-self-driving-road-train-on-spains-public-roads">last year</a>, and Ford predicts autonomous vehicles to <a href="http://www.extremetech.com/extreme/132147-ford-self-driving-cars-2017">arrive by 2017</a>.</p>
<p>Now, two more car makers are joining the fray. According to <em>The Wall Street Journal</em>, Toyota and Audi will demo <a href="http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424127887323374504578220081249592640.html">self-driving cars</a> at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas next week:</p>
<blockquote><p>An Audi official also said the luxury-car company will be demonstrating autonomous vehicle capabilities at the Las Vegas show, including a feature that allows a car to find a parking space and park itself without a driver behind the wheel.</p>
<p>Toyota's prototype vehicle is a Lexus LS 600h fitted with radar and camera equipment that can detect other vehicles, road lane lines and traffic signals, giving the vehicle the ability to navigate streets without a driver.</p></blockquote>
<p>We're particularly excited for the Audi feature, which should free up our hands for making lewd, gloating gestures when we our self-driven car beats out some poor sap who still drives himself for a parking spot.</p>
