Interesting observation:
Self-driving cars are are a thing that actually exist in the real world. A few photos from the past week in Vegas:
(This was outside the north hall at the Las Vegas Convention Center)
(On the strip)
(Yes, I returned his thumbs up.)

Also from the NAb show, a dancing robot:
In this video who I shot, the participants weren't doing a very good job of interacting with it. But when a human dancer was on stage really doing their thing, the robot did an amazing job of matching their moves.
And, to be clear, this thing was scary as hell. Very large, very heavy, and moving faster than any industrial robot I have ever seen before. I did a little sniffing around, and its power supply was three-phase 480v.
What blew my mind, however, was that its processor fit into a standard 4RU box.

This past week, I learned that self-driving cars are actually in commercial service, via Lyft in Las Vegas.
They have a dedicated pick-up spot near the North hall at LVCC:
And you can see them driving along the strip:
Yes, I returned the thumbs-up from the guy in the front.
