NavLab 1 (1986) : Carnegie Mellon : Robotics Institute History of Self-Driving Cars
CMU Robotics Institute

A short CMU Robotics Institute clip on NavLab 1 from 1986, the first self-driving car to carry people on board. It was very slow but revolutionary for its era's computing power.
Cited as evidence that autonomous driving has been demonstrated for decades and that progress was slow.
