This has been in the works for a LONG time. About 11 years ago I worked on a project with some guys down at the NIST campus in Gaithersburg MD (adaptive thermal compensation of a vertical machining center... boring stuff), and accross the hall from us was a garage that had a very nice Hummer in it (this was a mil spec vehicle, the body was made out of AT LEAST 1.5" thick fiberglass... heavy duty stuff). The hummer was a robotic vehicle project (DARPA funded) that could drive itself around the campus, very cool technology and this was a decade ago.
