That's really cool!  It was navigating an interstate with cars all over just no problem.  Then it parallel parked at the end just to show off!

I've been a passenger in one a couple of times.  Lots of fun

I was in rush hour traffic behind a google self-driving car once.  It looked like it was doing fine, but I didn't get closer than a few car lengths.

They exaggerated a bit at the end about summoning it across the country didn't they?  I am sure the car will navigate correctly, but can it recharge itself?

It can probably find charging stations, but it can't plug itself in yet, no.
