Yamaha Jumps the Gun on Self Driving Cars

Cool technology and its on a motorcycle, cool, sweet, neat. The most striking thing about this whole deal for me is the insight that the man from Yamaha has. He (and probably his crew) saw the trend of these "self driving cars" and saw the problem that hey, in order for this to be implemented everyone will need a new car. Elon Musk did this with his own cars and released downloadable content (only for Teslas of course) that allows for the car to steer itself.

Instead of redesigning the car, Yamaha has created something that can do the driving for us, without us having to buy new cars. Seems like an incredible marketing move to me and some plain old amazingness.
