Dickmann's autonomous cars, 1980s
Kaspars Foigts
A three-minute clip about Ernst Dickmanns' VaMoR and VaMP projects, in which fully autonomous vehicles drove thousands of miles on public roads in the 1980s. It is a brief look at early German self-driving research.
HN commenters cite it as proof that autonomous driving was demonstrated decades before the current boom.
