The theme this week appears to be robots. While not quite as cool as the Segway-mounted robots posted earlier, but this is still pretty interesting. Apparently, Stanford has modified a car so that it is able to park itself. Check it out:

Once they improve things like obstacle recognition, it seems like this has a lot of potential. Do you think this is a feature you'd want to have on a future car?
