Rides given to US House and Federal Agency Representatives
A media event on the grounds of Capitol Hill preceded the sequence of demo rides shown below.
The videos below were broadcast live using uStream from within the car while it drove itself with legislators and federal agency representatives in it. The videos were shot and broadcast using a hand-held smartphone - hence, the relatively poor resolution and some shaking as the car hit road-bumps.
